About Roller Bearings
Roller bearings are a type of antifriction bearings. Roller bearings are similar to ball bearings; however, roller bearings, unlike the balls in ball bearings, use cylindrical rollers. Roller bearings have higher radial load capacity than ball bearings. Bearings are machine elements that reduce energy loss caused by friction in the rotary motion parts of a broad range of equipment and machinery. There are several types of bearings, such as ball bearings, roller bearings, and plain bearings. Technological advances and the growing need to address energy efficiency in many applications result in the continuous improvement of bearing designs. The prospects for the growth of the bearings market is, therefore, closely linked to the growth in the production of high-performance industrial equipment and machinery. Economic growth, increase in manufacturing, construction activities, energy demand, and rising personal income levels are the main factors leading to the expansion of durable goods production and bearing-reliant applications.
