Cylindrical Roller Bearing

Cylindrical Roller Bearing

The cylindrical roller bearing uses cylindrical rollers that make line contact with the raceway, giving it far higher radial load capacity than a ball bearing of the same size. N and NU types also let the shaft move axially, which makes them ideal as the floating side where thermal expansion has to be absorbed.

Key features

• High radial load capacity, suited to heavy duty work
• NU / N types allow the shaft to expand axially
• NJ / NUP types carry some axial load
• Runs at higher speeds than a tapered roller bearing
• Machined brass cages available for extra heavy duty work

Typical applications
