Different Types of Roller Bearing and Its Application
The roller bearing is actually a counterpart of the ball bearing. As the name suggests, it is used to separate the inner and outer ring of the bearing without using balls. The structure and design of the roller and ball bearing are quite common but the performance and method of separation have huge differences. Out of all, the main purpose of the roller bearing is offering a high performance by minimizing the rotational friction when carrying the radial and axial load. What is roller bearing? Roller bearings are also called as rolling element bearings, which is quite similar to ball bearings but designed in a way to carry a load properly by minimizing friction. However, roller bearings transmit loads with the help of cylinder rolling elements. As mentioned prior, it does not use balls to maintain the separation between bearing moving parts. This versatile bearing can contain single or multiple rows of the rolling elements. To get improved radial load capacity, you c...
