Hollow Roller Bearings

 

 

Hollow roller bearings are single-row or double-row radial bearings with an inner ring, an outer ring, and hollow or thin-wall rollers. The thin wall in the rollers allow the bearings to be preloaded, as opposed to cylindrical roller bearings with solid rollers. This increases radial stiffness and reduces radial vibration and radial runout. The proper lubrication of hollow roller bearings is critical for their proper operation and bearing life. Hollow roller bearings are used on turbine shafts, as well as in grinding, milling, and workhead spindles where precision and stiffness are required.


Products & Services
Roller bearings are used in rotary applications to replace sliding movement with low friction, rolling motion. The principal types of roller bearings are cylindrical, spherical, and tapered. Search by Specification | Learn more about Roller Bearings
Tapered roller bearings consist of an inner ring (cone), an outer ring (cup), a cage and rollers, which are profiled to distribute the load evenly across the roller. Search by Specification | Learn more about Tapered Roller Bearings
Flange mounted bearings are used when a shaft axis is perpendicular to the bearing mounting surface. They are available in 2, 3, or 4-hole configurations. Search by Specification | Learn more about Flange Mounted Bearings
Pillow block bearings are mounted bearings that are used to provide load support for a rotating shaft’s axis.  Search by Specification | Learn more about Pillow Block Bearings
