Thrust Cylindrical Roller Bearing FAQS

QWhat is Cylindrical Roller?

AAll cylindrical roller bearing configurations (except RAA) provide precision control of the rollers for operation over a wide range of speeds with precision-ground, double-ribbed guide flanges on one ring. These roller bearings are found in turbine engine mainshaft, transmission and gearbox applications with high radial loads. Size range: 22 mm to 300 mm OD (special designs up to 600 mm are available) Design Attributes: RF and RJ configurations are designed for applications requiring axial position control or limited thrust capabilities in one direction. For applications operating at higher loads and speeds, the RJ configuration is designed for easier lubrication with an oil jet onto the inner race. Types RU and RN are full-floating configurations that allow limited axial motion during operation. RN is less prone to slip or skid under lighter loads or varying loads at high speeds. RU is easier to lubricate under heavier loads. Types RUS and RNH bearings are used in integral designs where the rollers run directly on a hardened and ground shaft or housing. Performance characteristics are similar to RU and RN. The RAA configuration has single-ribbed inner and outer rings and performs under low speeds or oscillating conditions. It has high guide flanges to accept some thrust in one direction. Applications: Turbine engine mainshafts Transmissions Gearboxes

QWhat is Ball?

ATimken’s ball bearings for aerospace applications are specifically designed to withstand radial, thrust, moment, reversible thrust or combination loads. Our offering includes two Conrad configurations (types HK and HD) and two angular contact configurations (types HA and HT). Bearings may be supplied as single units or in preloaded sets. Size range: 10mm to 600 mm OD Design Attributes: HK series is designed to handle heavy loads and has high-strength Conrad separator options that can manage severe loads and speeds. HD series features an innovative fractured outer ring design that allows for maximum ball complement in a radial deep-groove bearing. This provides significant improvements in dynamic load capacity and predicted service life. HA series has a non-separable design with counter-bored outer rings and one-piece, high strength separators. Ideal for preloaded and/or thrust-type applications. Options include deep-groove outer and relieved inner races for ultra-high-speed applications. HT series is a high-performance line featuring full deep-groove outer rings, one-piece, high strength separators and two extra-deep-groove inner ring halves. Ideal for use on high-speed shafts with reversing thrust loads. Applications: Turbine engines and transmissions for aerospace applications

QWhat is Cross Roller (XR) Taper Rollers?

APrecision crossed roller bearings (TXR) are designed to offer the highest levels of rotational accuracy and rigidity while conserving space and saving material costs. The bearing features two sets of races and rollers brought together at right angles with alternate rollers facing in opposite directions. This allows two half-rows of rollers to fit into the space of one. The steep-angle, tapered geometry results in a total effective bearing spread much greater than the width of the bearing itself. Able to withstand high overturning moments, the crossed roller bearing is ideal for the table bearing of machine tools, including vertical boring and grinding machines. It is uniquely suited to many other pivot and pedestal applications where space is limited or the lowest possible center of gravity of a rotating mass is required. Size range: ID 203.200 mm to 2463.800 mm (8.000 in. to 97.000 in.) OD 279.400 mm to 2819.400 mm (11.000 in. to 111.000 in.) Design Attributes: Provides benefits of two-row bearings in single-row space. Withstands high overturning moments. Combines the compactness of a single-row bearing with the stability of a two-row bearing. Applications: Vertical boring mills Vertical grinding machines Other machine tools
