• Cylindrical roller bearings are rolling bearings with cylindrical rolling elements. In comparison to ball bearings, cylindrical roller bearings can take higher radial loads. In addition, they also respond better to impact loads. In contrast to deep groove ball bearings, however, they can take lower axial loads and require their position to be exactly aligned.

Type designations:

• N.. (Floating bearing, separable, no rib on outer ring, two ribs on inner ring)
  
• NU.. (Floating bearing, separable, has two fixed ribs on outer ring, no rib on inner ring)
• NJ.. (Support bearing, separable, has two ribs on outer ring and one rib on inner ring)
• NJ.. (Fixed bearing, separable, has two ribs on outer ring, one rib on inner ring and a loose-rib washer on inner ring)
• SL.. (Full complement, with or without lip seal)
• NN.. /NNU.. (Floating bearing, separable, double row, full complement)
