Roller Bearings
Cylindrical Roller Bearing
High radial load capacity bearings using line contact between rollers and raceways for optimised stress distribution in industrial machinery.
Technical Overview
Cylindrical Roller Bearings use line contact between the rolling elements and the raceways, which optimises the distribution of stress factors at the point of contact between the roller and the raceway. This construction means that cylindrical roller bearings have a very high radial load rating. Depending on the design, they may also be able to transmit limited amounts of axial loads. ANDE cylindrical roller bearings are manufactured from premium bearing steel with precision-ground raceways and are available in various configurations (NU, NJ, NUP, N, NF) for electric motors, gearboxes, pumps, and heavy industrial equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1What is the difference between NU, NJ, and NUP type cylindrical roller bearings?
NU type has two flanges on the outer ring only, allowing free axial movement of the inner ring. NJ type has two flanges on the outer ring and one on the inner ring, providing axial location in one direction. NUP type has two flanges on the outer ring and a loose flange ring plus one integral flange on the inner ring, providing axial location in both directions.
Q2Can cylindrical roller bearings handle axial loads?
Standard NU type cylindrical roller bearings can only handle radial loads. NJ and NUP types can handle limited axial loads in one or both directions respectively. For significant axial loads, consider tapered roller bearings or spherical roller bearings instead.
