Cylindrical and Controlled Contour Rollers

There are many applications for cylindrical rollers; some have been detailed below. The rollers are available within a diameter range of 1mm to 50mm and are made of steel (material specifications in .pdf). Within this diameter range there are two types of rollers as listed below.

These rollers have a length which is 1 to 3 times their diameter and come in a diameter range of 2.5mm to 50mm. Uses for these rollers include:

Bearings of all types
Epicyclic gear reduction units
Pinions for starter motors
Idler wheels
Hydraulic motors
Rotating elements in general
Crossed-roller fifth wheels

Crossed-roller linear guides
Roller re-circulation runners
Perforating bits for oil and mineral prospecting

These rollers have a length which is more than three times their diameter and come in a diameter range of 1mm to 7mm. Uses for these rollers include:

Full filling bearings
Needle roller cages
Universal joint spiders
Epicyclic gear reduction units
Cages for linear guides
Rotating elements in general
