Cylindrical roller bearings have rolling elements that are completely different from ball bearings; they are cylindrical in shape — creating higher radial load capacity than ball bearings of same size.
Advantages:
1. Higher radial load carrying capacity
2. Accommodates axial displacement
3. Well suited for vibratory applications
Disadvantages:
1. Cannot accommodate angular misalignment
2. The RPM capacity is low compared to ball bearings; generally 1/3
3. Friction generation is higher due to line contact between raceway and rollers
Common causes of Cylindrical Roller Bearing failure:
1. Contamination, improper mounting and misalignment
2. Corrosion, lubrication, fluting and fatigue
3. Overheating, excessive loads, improper storage or handling and improper fit
Applications: Agriculture/Automotive OEM/Electric motor/Gearboxes/Construction/Oil and gas/Machine Tool/Heavy industry/Fans/blowers/Traction motors/Pumps and compressors etc.
