Cylindrical roller bearings come in different sizes and designs depending on the industry or industrial machines that they fit in. Their main difference is on their rows, inner and outer rings. They work much better under lighter loads and low speed rates. These bearings also have both sealed and split designs where in the sealed cylindrical bearings, the rollers are protected from contaminants, water and dust while providing lubricant retention and contaminants exclusion. The split bearings are used in crank shafts for maintenance or replacements.
They are mainly suitable for gearboxes, wind turbines, machine tools, electric motors, pumps, steel mills and the oil and gas industry. Other industries suitable include mining, petroleum production, power generation, power transmission, cement processing, aggregate crushing and metal recycling.
Cylindrical bearings require more care and maintenance to last longer because they can easily rust or crack.
