A cylindrical roller bearing is a form of rolling element bearing that supports the radial loads of a rotating shaft using cylindrical rollers rather than balls. Typically, a cage or retainer is used to divide and maintain an even spacing between the cylindrical rollers. High radial weights along with axial loads traveling in only one direction are planned functions for cylindrical roller bearings.

Attributes:
● Have lower friction compared to other types of bearings.
● Load is distributed over a larger area compared to a ball bearing. 

Application:
The cylindrical roller bearings are used in high load carrying capacity.
