Roller Bearings

Roller bearings are any cylindrical or spherical object that aids in the movement of an object greater in size than the bearing itself. A roller bearing is a weight distribution-oriented bearing. This means it utilizes many points of contact between a circular housing that contains internal rolling elements, such as ball bearings, that sit within a collar.Roller bearings — also known as rolling-element bearings — are similar to ball bearings in that they are designed to carry a load while minimizing friction. However, roller bearings transmit loads using cylinder rolling elements, rather than balls, to maintain the separation between moving parts of the bearing.
