Cylindrical Bearings for Heavy-Duty Trucks and Off-Highway Construction Equipment

Heavy-duty trucks and off-highway construction machines work in tough environments. The equipment powering these vehicles often comes with long warranty periods. But even with a warranty, every part needs to perform reliably. Choosing the right components, no matter how small the component may be, is critical. That includes bearings.

What Are Bearings?

You can find bearings in all sorts of equipment and machinery. Their job is simple but important: they reduce friction and transfer motion. They help parts move smoothly. Bearings come in different shapes and sizes depending on the application.

One common type is the cylindrical roller bearing. These bearings use rollers shaped like cylinders. You’ll find them in the transmissions and axles of heavy-duty trucks and construction equipment.

Cylindrical Roller Bearings from Regal Rexnord Brands

Regal Rexnord offers a wide range of cylindrical roller bearings, including:

• Rollway: Needle roller bearings and ISO boundary cylindrical roller bearings
• Link-Belt: ABMA boundary cylindrical roller bearings

Our bearings come in several dimensional series, with bore sizes ranging from 30mm to 440mm. We also offer multiple inner and outer race configurations, including:

• Separable inner race
• Separable outer race
• Non-separable designs

These configurations accommodate all application and assembly requirements. Our brands make it easy to match the bearing to your application and assembly needs.

Custom Bearing Solutions for Tough Jobs

Standard catalog bearings work for many applications. But some jobs need something extra. That’s where customization comes in.

Regal Rexnord bearings brands can design bearings to fit unique requirements. Custom changes may include:

• Special dimensions (bore, outside diameter, width)
• Modified component configurations

We can also make internal design changes to improve performance. For instance, changing the roller crown radius design for better load carrying. Or improving race surface finishing for better lubrication with gear or hydraulic oils.

In some cases, the bearing housing and shaft are made from different materials. This can cause temperature-related issues. We adjust dimensions and clearances. These modifications help the bearing fit properly and run smoothly under changing conditions.

Why Bearings From Regal Rexnord Brands Stand Out

Whether you operate heavy-duty trucks or off-highway equipment, we have a bearing that fits. Our engineers work closely with customers to ensure every bearing meets their demands. And if you need something custom, we can make it happen.
