Roller bearings

What are the main uses of roller bearing?

Bearings are the support for mechanical drive shafts. There is no denying that it’s an important component in improving mechanical performance and maintaining power. Bearings are known as the key to a machine and work primarily by transferring benefits and movement, resulting in reduced friction.

It is no exaggeration to say that bearings have been around for thousands of years. With the progress of human science and technology, different materials and different types of bearings have begun to appear in people's lives. Currently, we will focus on roller bearings.

This article will mainly introduce the characteristics of roller bearings, and indicate what are the main uses of roller bearing.

What are the main advantages of roller bearing?

Roller bearings have the advantages of low starting forces, high rotational accuracy, and easy selection. At the same time, the coefficient of friction is small, suitable for high speed, precision bearing limit speed close to the deep groove ball bearings. Besides, Roller bearings have a long service life.

Currently, roller bearing specifications are mostly standardized, which means that the production of roller bearings is becoming more efficient.

What is a Cylindrical roller bearing used for?

Cylindrical roller bearings are a kind of roller bearings, which are named because they look like cylinders.

The internal structure of cylindrical roller bearings uses rollers arranged at 90° perpendicular to each other. It is understood that the rollers are fitted with spacer cages or isolation blocks between them, which can prevent the rollers from tilting or grinding against each other, effectively preventing an increase in rotational torque. It can be used in all kinds of large vehicles, internal combustion engines, generators, combustion turbines, and all kinds of heavy machinery. Obviously, it has a wide range of applications
