🔹 Features of Cylindrical Roller Bearings

Unlike ball bearings, cylindrical roller bearings use cylindrical rolling elements that provide a larger contact surface, allowing them to handle higher radial loads and reduce wear.

Key features include:

  • High radial load capacity

  • Low heat generation and friction

  • High stiffness and precision

  • Easy assembly and disassembly

  • Suitable for high-speed applications

⚙️ Types of Cylindrical Roller Bearings

  • NU Series → handles radial loads, allowing axial displacement.

  • NJ Series → supports limited axial load in one direction.

  • NUP Series → handles axial load in both directions.

  • NN/NNU Series → double-row bearings for extreme rigidity and heavy-duty precision machinery.


🧠 Main Advantages

  • Stable performance at high speeds

  • Long service life and low maintenance

  • High rotational accuracy

  • Exceptional resistance to wear

Use IPC industrial lubricants to ensure maximum performance and protection.
