Details
Cylindrical roller bearings are widely used in machine manufacture. Through the – modified – line contact, cylindrical roller bearings can withstand a higher load than most other roller bearings of the same diameter. There are also good opportunities for using them at high rotational speeds. Compared to other roller bearings, cylindrical roller bearings have good friction behaviour. Depending on construction form, cylindrical roller bearings can also have combined – radial and axial – loadings.
The arrangement and number of boards on the outer and inner rings is crucial to this. Thus, cylindrical roller bearings can be used as floating, support or locating bearings according to their construction. To determine the permissible axial loadings, bearing geometry, roller profile and bearing size and the operational parameters of rotational speed, load and lubrication with contact surfaces must be considered. A purely axial loading of cylindrical roller bearings is not possible. Cylindrical roller bearings must be minimally radially loaded.
Cylindrical roller bearings can basically be distinguished by their inner construction:
Because of the higher number of rolling elements full complement cylindrical roller bearings have a higher load capacity than the same size design with cage. Because of the cage guidance cylindrical roller bearings with a cage can be used at higher rotational speed than full complement cylindrical roller bearings.
Cylindrical Roller Bearings with Cage
Cylindrical roller bearings with cage are available in a variety of designs. In all standard versions, a bearing ring (outer or inner ring) always guides the cylindrical rollers between fixed ribs. This bearing ring (marked R in front of the abbreviation) forms a coherent unit with the cage assembly. The other - loose - bearing ring (marked with L in front of the abbreviation) can be removed. Thus, in all cases, the outer and inner ring can be installed separately from each other in the adjacent construction. Both bearing rings can thereby be connected with a tight fit with the respective bearing seat, which increases the rigidity of the bearing. The one and two-row cylindrical roller bearings are mostly standardized bearings. Four-row cylindrical roller bearings are special rolling bearings.

Tolerances
We manufacture cylindrical roller bearings of tolerance classes normal to P4 as per DIN 620. High precision bearings with tapered bore comply with the increased tolerance class SP.
Bearing clearance
We manufacture cylindrical roller bearings with radial clearance C1, C2, normal, C3, C4 and C5 as per DIN 620-4, up to individual limited clearance classes. The high precision bearings with tapered bore correspond to the clearance group C1.
Lubrication
The bearings are not greased and can be lubricated with grease or oil.
Connection to adjacent construction
Positive locking shaft-hub connection

Full complement cylindrical roller bearings
Full complement cylindrical roller bearings have no cage which keeps the rolling elements apart even in the unloaded zone. Because of the kinematic relationships, full complement cylindrical roller bearings do not reach the same high rotational speed as cylindrical roller bearings with cage.
However due to there being no cage, the greatest possible number of rollers can be housed in the roller bearing. Thus, full complement cylindrical roller bearings can absorb enormous forces; they are very rigid and are particularly suited to space-saving, compact constructions.
Full complement cylindrical roller bearings exist in several designs: single-, double- und multi-row. Especially the multi-row special bearings are particularly rigid, but do not permit any tilting between the inner and outer ring.
