Crossed Roller                  Three-Row Roller 

FOUR-POINT CONTACT BALL

Four-point contact ball bearings are suited to axial, radial, and moment loads. The four point contact is distributed between the balls and the two split raceways. The precision grinding and geometry of the ball and deep grove raceway allow for the application of increased thrust and moment capacity. Typical applications for these bearings are: Machine Tools, Radar, Medical Equipment and Construction Equipment.

DOUBLE-ROW BALL

The eight point contact bearing design in principal is the same as the four point contact bearing with an additional ball and raceway configuration placed adjacent in the vertical axis’s, this allows for loading to be evenly distributed between the two raceway arrangements, this configuration will allow for an increase in loading capacity of between 75-80% as opposed to the four point contact bearing, with additional dynamic forces being made available of up to 50% (approximately).

THREE ROW ROLLER

These designs provide for the highest load rating of all designs. The three roller configurations allow for the two rollers in the vertical axis to take both axial and moment loads from the two adjacent raceways, whilst the third roller facilitates the radial load. Typical applications for these designs are in Construction, Opencast Mining and Marine applications.

CROSSED ROLLER

The roller and raceway orientation are positioned at 45 degrees to the axis. The static loading capacities for these designs relative to the roller surface contact area are superior as opposed to the four and eight point contact bearings, additionally; the rigidity in this   design allows for higher rotational speeds and will allow for a greater degree of misalignment in mounting. However, radial thrust limitations are less than that of the four and eight point contact bearing design.
