Cylindrical Roller Bearing Supplier

Northwest Bearings supplies a broad range of cylindrical roller bearings, with capped and uncapped options, with or without cages and ribs. They may also have more than one row of rollers, and one or two integral flanges on the outer and inner rings.
  • N Type: with integral flanges on the inner ring to accommodate axial shaft displacement
  • NJ Type: with two integral flanges on the outer ring and one on the inner ring
  • NU Type: two integral flanges on the outer ring
  • NUP Type: two integral flanges on the outer ring and a loose flange ring for the inner ring, for axial location of the shaft
  • NNF Type and NNCF Type have snap ring grooves for easy installation
  • Cylindrical Thrust Bearings are designed for high axial loads: rollers are arranged in a flat circle between two washers for low-friction turning.

Cylindrical Roller Bearings FAQs

What are Cylindrical Roller Bearings?

These are a common type of rolling element bearing fitted with cylindrical rollers. Two traces or rings fit one inside the other, with rollers between them. They are used to support high radial loads and reduce friction in rotating parts.

What are the Benefits of Cylindrical Roller Bearings?

Compared to spherical roller bearings, cylindrical rollers have a larger contact area with the inner and outer rings. While this adds marginally more friction, cylindrical roller bearings are more rigid and have higher radial load capacity than ball bearings. The roller profile also reduces edge stress.

Which are the Different Types?

The different types of cylindrical roller bearings vary by the number of rows of rollers and the number of flanges on the inner and outer rings. These differences enable varying capabilities for accommodating axial displacement and locating the shaft axially in one or both directions.

When Should I Use a Cylindrical Roller Bearing?

When a high radial load would crack ball bearings, a cylindrical roller bearing is more appropriate. They are commonly used in:
  • Gearboxes
  • Electric motors
  • Wind turbines
  • Textile rollers
  • Heavy-duty conveyor rollers
  • Rail vehicles
