CARB bearings

The CARB Toroidal Bearing takes angular misalignment as well as axial displacement and higher loads. A cylindrical roller bearing tolerates axial displacement, but not angular misalignment. A Spherical Roller Bearing tolerates angular misalignment, but not internal axial displacement. A needle roller bearing is compact and tolerates axial displacement, but not misalignment.

The toroidal roller bearing combines the advantages of these three bearing types without any of their disadvantages. Whether you are working with machine maintenance or mechanical design, CARB will give you a whole new perspective on cost efficiency.

Features & Benefits of CARB Roller Bearings

The toroidal roller bearing concept offers several benefits for a wide range of application areas. The general, most important benefits are:

• High load carrying capacity
• More compact and less complex designs
• Reduced weight and manufacturing costs
• Increased reliability
• Longer bearing service life
• Lower vibration levels
• Takes angular misalignment
• Takes axial displacement
