Dependable Manufacturers
RCBD and RKB are perhaps two of the most dependable manufacturers of toroidal roller bearings in the market today. With several specialized types of toroidal roller bearings available, you are guaranteed to find the bearing that is perfect for your specific application. Ritbearing can help you choose the correct bearing you need. But first, it is essential to understand the design of a toroidal roller bearing, the types available, and specifications that can impact its performance in the long run.
What Is A Toroidal Roller Bearing?
A toroidal roller bearing is made up of a single row of radial roller bearings with slim barrel rollers. Toroidal roller bearings are self-aligning, cylindrical bearings that are located inside a spherical bushing. The bearings and barrel rollers are designed to provide balanced and consistent load distribution and roller contact. This design helps to reduce extreme temperatures, which can reduce bearing performance, and rolling friction, which can cause excessive wear on the bearing, shortening its lifespan. The lubricant in between the bearing rollers also works to coat the bearing during operation to extend the lifespan and usability of the bearing.
Toroidal roller bearings are designed to provide a combination of axial float and dynamical misalignment capability through the inclusion of inner and outer rings and rollers. Toroidal roller bearings are uniquely designed for high radial load, excessive shaft deflection, and misaligned bearing ring applications.
RCBD Toroidal Roller Bearings
RCBD stands for Ritbearing China Bearing Division and offers quality bearing products at competitive prices for customers with a firm project budget. RCBD toroidal roller bearings are manufactured to the same quality standards as other industry manufacturers and offer unmatched pricing and industry application compatibility.
RCBD toroidal roller bearings are ideal for harsh operating conditions and extreme environments. Because of the spherical roller bearing’s design, shaft deviations can be more easily accepted and can be optimized at low to medium speeds.
RKB Toroidal Roller Bearings
Ritbearing is proud to represent RKB Bearing as an industry leader in specialty bearing manufacturing. With decades of industry experience, RKB manufactures superior toroidal roller bearings that are:
- Self-aligning, spherical roller bearings
- Capable of axial displacement of cylindrical roller bearings
- Compact, high load capacity for needle roller bearings
RKB toroidal roller bearings are designed as non-locating bearings because they can be exposed to thermal expansion along the shaft where both rings must be axially located on both sides. RKB manufactures a variety of toroidal roller bearings including:
- V Type (Fully Complement): Small to medium bearings used for continuous casting and mud pumps (cross-head position) applications
- J Type (Pressed Steel Cage)
- M Type (Machined Brass Cage): Large bearings used for heavy duty applications, cement, and pulp and paper production
