Cylindrical roller bearings are a common type of roller bearing, which, as the name suggests, use cylinders to reduce friction while facilitating movement between the moving parts of a machine. The cylindrical rollers used in the bearings maintain linear contact with the raceways. Cylindrical bearings are very commonly used because they have a high radial load capacity and are most suitable for higher speed applications as compared to other types of roller bearings. Types of Cylindrical Roller Bearings There are basically three types of cylindrical roller bearings: Single Row Cylindrical Roller Bearings: These bearings use cylinders as rolling elements, which are guided by the ribs of the inner or outer ring. This is the most popular type of cylindrical roller bearing because of its easy mounting and dismounting. However, single row bearings are unable to support high radial loads for some applications. This is when the need for double row and multi-row cylindrical roller bearings aris
