Roller bearings, also known as rolling-element bearings, are designed to support a load while minimizing friction, similar to ball bearings. Roller bearings, on the other hand, transmit stresses using cylinder rolling elements rather than balls to keep the bearing's moving parts separated.

Single or multiple rows of rolling elements can be found in these bearings, and several rows can greatly improve radial load capacity. Different roller forms can also be used to reduce friction and support radial and axial stresses.

Roller bearings may withstand larger loads than standard ball bearings, however, they are typically used in low-speed applications. Many roller bearings are self-aligning and may quickly overcome misalignment and mounting challenges, reducing the need for maintenance, repair, and labor.

Roller bearings are available in a variety of forms and sizes, as well as being modified for specific applications. Flanges, cages, and additional bearing rows can also be used to improve performance to satisfy specific application requirements.

Types of Roller bearings 

There are thousands of different types of roller bearings to choose from depending on your needs. EIBC carries a wide range of roller bearings, including the following common types:

Cylindrical roller bearings 

Rollers that are longer than their diameter are used in these bearings, which can withstand larger loads than ball bearings. Our cylindrical roller bearings are capable of carrying large radial loads and can be used in high-speed applications.

Spherical roller bearings 

Even with shaft deflection and misalignment, these can bear enormous loads. For attachment with or without a sleeve adapter, they can be made with cylindrical or tapered bores. Spherical roller bearings can take axial loading in either direction as well as strong shock loads and come with a variety of internal clearances and retainer options. These bearings come in a variety of bore sizes, from 20 mm to 900 mm.

Needle roller bearings 

This type of bearing is smaller than traditional roller bearings and might have an inner ring or not. Needle roller bearings are suited for heavy-load, high-speed applications with radial space limits. Drawn cup designs allow for large grease reservoirs and high load capacities while maintaining a narrow cross-section. Seals are available in either inch or metric sizes for these bearings.

Taper roller bearings 

Radial and thrust loads can be supported by these bearings. Because they can only manage unidirectional axial loads, counter-stay requires a second laterally reversed bearing. Inch and metric sizes of taper roller bearings are available. 

Roller bearings applications 

Roller bearings are utilized in a variety of applications, including heavy machinery and equipment, power production, manufacturing, and aerospace.
