The difference between cylindrical roller bearings and deep groove ball bearings
Cylindrical roller bearings and deep groove ball bearings differ primarily in their rolling elements, raceway design, and load-handling capabilities. Cylindrical roller bearings use cylindrical rollers in line contact with flat raceways, enabling them to support higher radial loads but offering limited axial load capacity. In contrast, deep groove ball bearings use balls in point contact with deep raceways, allowing them to accommodate both radial and axial loads. While cylindrical roller bearings are designed for heavy-duty applications and moderate speeds, deep groove ball bearings are more suitable for high-speed operations and offer better tolerance for misalignment. These structural distinctions influence their performance, with cylindrical roller bearings excelling in high radial load situations and deep groove ball bearings being more versatile for combined load applications.
