The commonly used cylindrical roller bearings have the following forms:
Single row cylindrical roller bearings: Single row cylindrical roller bearings are separable bearings for easy installation and disassembly. Both rings can be fitted tightly. Modified contact lines between rollers and raceways can reduce stress concentration.
Double row cylindrical roller bearing: Double row cylindrical roller bearing is a kind of moving bearing, and its separability makes it easy to install and disassemble. Both rings can be fitted tightly. Double row cylindrical roller bearings are almost not allowed to have slant angles.
1. Single row bearings
N, NU type,N type bearing outer ring without retaining edge, both sides of the inner ring with retaining edge. Displacement in both axial directions between the shaft and the housing can be allowed. The bearing of NU type has flange on both sides of the outer ring and no flange on the inner ring. Displacement in both axial directions between the shaft and the housing can also be allowed. Therefore, this structure is suitable for use as a moving end bearing.
NJ, NF,NJ bearing outer ring on both sides of the retaining edge, the inner ring has a unilateral retaining edge. It can bear a certain amount of unidirectional axial load. The outer ring of NF type has a flange on one side, and the inner ring has a flange on both sides. It can also bear a certain amount of unidirectional axial load. Therefore, this kind of structure is suitable for use as a single direction axial positioning bearing.
NUP, NFP, AND NUP bearings have outer ring edges on both sides, one side of the inner ring has a (fixed) single ring, and the other side has a detachable flat ring. It can bear a certain amount of bidirectional axial load. The NFP bearing outer ring has a (fixed) single retaining edge on one side, and a detachable flat retaining ring on the other side, with retaining edges on both sides of the inner ring.
It can also bear a certain amount of bidirectional axial load. This kind of structural bearing can limit the displacement of the shaft relative to the bearing seat in two axial directions. Therefore, it is suitable for use as fixed end bearings.
NH (NJ+HJ) type,NH type bearing is a combination of NJ type bearing and HJ type oblique retaining ring structure. Because the inner ring of NUP type bearing is shorter, plus the flat retaining ring is not fixed, it is not convenient to use, while the NH type bearing can use the width of the whole inner ring of NJ type bearing to keep closer match with the shaft. Moreover, NH bearing is more convenient to install and disassemble. NH type bearings can limit the displacement of the shaft relative to the bearing seat in two axial directions. Therefore, it is suitable for use as fixed end bearings.
2. Double row bearings
Double row
cylindrical roller bearings have cylindrical bore and conical bore (bearing post-code plus K) two structures. This kind of bearing has the advantages of compact structure, large rigidity, large bearing capacity and small deformation after load, especially suitable for machine tool spindle support.
Conical inner hole can also play a role of micro-adjustment of clearance, and can simplify the positioning device structure, convenient installation and disassembly.
