Roller contact bearing is the counterpart of ball bearing. As the name suggests, in this type of bearing, rollers are used instead of balls to separate the inner and outer rings of the bearing. The design and structure of ball bearings and roller contact bearings are very similar. Although the separation method is adopted, there are some differences in their application and performance. The main purpose of this bearing is to reduce rotating friction while bearing high axial and radial loads, so as to provide high performance.
Roller contact bearings are used in many different applications and industries, including heavy equipment and manufacturing. Compared with other bearings, roller contact bearings have several key differences, which make them more attractive in some applications.
The contact area of roller contact bearings is larger than that of ball bearings suitable for heavy-duty applications.
It is assumed that the load is uniformly distributed on multiple axes. In this case, the roller contact bearing is usually smaller than
Since the friction between rings is small, they are manufactured and maintained within their service life.
