Bearings More Suitable for Withstanding High Loads

Roller bearings are usually distinguished from ball bearings, mainly due to the shape of the rolling elements and the way they contact the raceways.

Ball bearings form point contact between the rolling elements and the raceways, with a small contact area and less friction, making them more suitable for applications with low loads and high speeds. In contrast, the rollers in roller bearings have a linear contact with the raceways, which helps to distribute stress and gives them a much higher load capacity than ball bearings. At the same time, like ball bearings, roller bearings filled with rollers are also stiffer and have better load-carrying capacity than roller bearings with cages.

A Wide Variety of Roller Bearing Types

Due to the high load-carrying capacity of roller bearings, various types of roller bearings have been developed to meet different load requirements in different environments. These include:

Cylindrical Roller Bearings: They can withstand extremely high pure radial forces but cannot bear axial forces, making them suitable for high-speed applications.
Tapered Roller Bearings: Depending on the contact angle, they can handle different combined loads and usually have high rigidity.
Spherical Roller Bearings: Distinguished by their excellent self-aligning ability, they can tolerate a certain degree of misalignment.
Needle Roller Bearings: They offer high load capacity while having a small cross-section, making them ideal for compact equipment.

Bearings More Suitable for Heavy Machinery

In heavy industrial equipment (such as rolling mills, wind power equipment, mining equipment, etc.), the smooth operation of the equipment generally cannot do without roller bearings.

Besides excellent load-carrying capacity, most roller bearings use stainless steel or high-strength bearing steel as materials, combined with sealed structures, which enables the equipment to withstand impacts and harsh environments.

Of course, although compared with ball bearings, roller bearings have higher friction and more limited rotational speeds, modern production technologies are constantly improving the rotational speed and friction of roller bearings, allowing them to achieve high-speed operation under high loads.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How to select the appropriate roller bearing?

Before choosing the right roller bearing, it is necessary to understand the working environment and load conditions of the bearing, and have a clear idea of the specific type of roller bearing needed.

Then, determine the required bearing's rated load, size, speed, temperature, working environment, and whether sealing is needed in sequence.

Once these are determined, you can basically identify the bearing you need. If you need detailed bearing information or have other questions, contact us. TFL provides high-quality bearings that can not only smoothly replace those of major brands but also offer you a detailed and complete purchasing solution.

Can roller bearings be used to replace ball bearings?

Sure, but you must pay attention to the application conditions and compatibility.

Compared with ball bearings, roller bearings are more suitable for high-load and high-impact situations, but their rotational speed is relatively low and their high-speed performance is not as good as that of ball bearings. So if your equipment requires high load capacity and durability, and the rotational speed is not a high priority, you can make the corresponding replacement. Besides, you also need to pay attention to whether the detailed attributes such as bearing size and lubrication requirements match. And a small-scale test should be conducted before use to ensure performance.

Are roller bearings more expensive than ball bearings?

Not necessarily. Due to the unique structure of roller bearings, it is necessary to ensure that the rollers and raceways have linear contact while maintaining good performance and load-carrying capacity. Therefore, the processing accuracy and material selection for roller bearings are more stringent, making them more expensive. However, due to the influence of brand, size specifications, and precision grades, it is impossible to make a direct comparison between roller bearings and ball bearings. Moreover, the two types of bearings are suitable for different fields, and it is more advisable to choose based on your needs.

If you want to purchase roller bearings but have a limited budget, you can choose TFL. Our self-produced bearings have stable quality, reasonable prices, and international quality certifications. They are your best choice for cost savings.
