Why can cylindrical roller bearings only bear radial loads?
Cylindrical roller bearings are designed to primarily bear radial loads, but they can also withstand some axial loads depending on their design. The primary load-carrying capacity of cylindrical roller bearings is in the radial direction, meaning they are best suited to support loads that act perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
The design of cylindrical roller bearings includes cylindrical rollers that are positioned between inner and outer races. These rollers provide efficient support for radial loads because they are oriented parallel to the shaft. The contact between the cylindrical rollers and the raceways is optimized for handling radial forces.
While cylindrical roller bearings are not primarily intended for axial loads, certain designs, such as those with special modifications like thrust collars or flanges, can tolerate some axial loads. These modifications help distribute axial forces more effectively and prevent the rollers from sliding out of position.
