Cylindrical roller bearings are commonly separable and easy to mount and dismount. They can be divided into single row, double row and muti-row cylindrical roller bearings. The widely used bearings are cylindrical roller bearings with cage. There are single or double row bearings with a full complement of roller and other bearing arrangements. Cylindrical roller bearings have high radial load carrying capacity and are also suitable for high speeds.

Applications of cylindrical roller bearings are mostly found in middle-sized and large-sized motors, electricity generators, internal combustion engines, gas turbines, machine tool spindles, deceleration devices, unloading and lifting machines and other industrial machines.
