What is a cylindrical roller bearing?
It is similar to a ball bearing but has rollers
instead of balls. The rollers move freely
between the inner and outer races. The roller
has a straight line of contact. A roller bearing
can withstand greater radial loads than a ball
bearing of the same size. Inner
