Cylindrical rollers and raceways are line contact bearings. Load capacity, mainly bear radial load. The rolling element has little friction with the ferrule rib and is suitable for high speed rotation. According to the ferrule with or without ribs, it can be divided into single row cylindrical roller bearings such as NU, NJ, NUP, N, NF, and double row cylindrical roller bearings such as NNU and NN. The bearing is a structure in which the inner ring and the outer ring are separable.

Cylindrical roller bearings with no ribs on the inner or outer ring, the inner and outer rings can move relative to the axial direction, so they can be used as free end bearings. A cylindrical roller bearing with a single rib on one side of the inner and outer rings and a single rib on the other side can withstand a certain degree of axial load in one direction. Steel stamping cages or copper alloy solid cages are generally used. However, some use polyamide shaped cages.
