Road Roller Bearings: Components and Bearings
Road rollers compact asphalt, concrete, gravel and soil in road and railway construction. Many components in road rollers rely on bearings to support the load and reduce friction between moving parts. WD Bearings has several types of bearings for this machinery. Our high-quality materials and precision manufacturing allow us to offer some of the best bearings for road rollers available.
What Is a Road Roller Bearing?
Bearings are precision-made components that allow linear motion and rotation between two moving parts. In a road roller, bearings are in parts that move, turn and twist. These components allow the machine to move at high speeds and compress materials efficiently.
WD Bearings are durable, reliable and highly precise to allow road roller components to operate with minimal noise, vibration and friction.
The Physical Influence of Heavy-Duty Bearings for Road Rollers
Since bearings play an important role in a road roller's performance and longevity, selecting the right type is essential. Some factors to consider when choosing a bearing include corrosion resistance, noise level and rate of speed.
Overall Bearing Life
Bearing life — how long the bearing will last in a road roller — matters because it affects the part's reliability and performance. Work site conditions and the load itself are some factors that influence the overall life of bearings in this equipment. WD Bearings offers components that are made to last with proper maintenance, reducing your repairs and maximizing your uptime.
Product Consistency
Bearings need to be consistent and uniform to perform reliably in road rollers. WD Bearings manufactures bearings to exact specifications to help this vital equipment operate efficiently and longer. Our bearings also reduce the likelihood of problems associated with poor-quality components, like uneven wear and friction.
Fracture Resistance
Fracture resistance in a bearing allows it to perform as expected, even in operating conditions with high forces from loads, vibrations and impacts. WD Bearings designs bearings to last without breaking by using durable materials and a proven design.
Types of Bearings for Road Rollers
Many types of bearings exist to support different applications. Our bearings for road rollers include:
Deep Groove Ball Bearings
Deep groove ball bearings facilitate high-speed movements, radial and axial loads, and light to medium loading while maintaining low friction, noise and vibration. Since this type of bearing is the most common, it's used in many applications, like steering wheels and parts under the hood.
Tapered Roller Bearings
Tapered roller bearings have a cup and cone assembly with a tapered cylinder that provides the rolling function. These bearings are used in gearboxes, manual transmission parts and other components, and they support axial and radial loading and low friction.
Needle Roller Bearings
Needle roller bearings have a cylinder that provides the rolling function for medium to heavy radial loading and low friction. This design is suitable for high-speed applications. In a road roller, these bearings can be used in the gearbox, transmission and other parts.
