Roller bearing

Roller bearings use cylindrical, spherical, or tapered rollers to support radial and axial loads. They are suitable for heavy-duty applications and can handle higher loads than ball bearings.

• Basic Function: To support radial and axial loads with higher load capacity than ball bearings.
• Operation: The rollers are positioned between the inner and outer raceways, allowing them to roll and reduce friction.
• Maintenance: Regular lubrication and inspection for wear or damage are essential. Proper alignment and load distribution should be maintained.
• Failure Modes: Common failure modes include roller skewing, wear, and fatigue. Misalignment and improper lubrication can lead to premature failure.
