Four row cylindrical roller bearings have a low friction compared with other roller bearings. They have compact structures and high stiffness, and carry high radial loads, but cant carry axial loads.
Four row cylindrical roller bearings are separable. Because of Inner rings with no ribs, inner and outer ring assembly can be mounted independently, this benefits for bearing mounting and maintenance.
They are the mainly used for rolling mills required high speed and precision. For example, the neck of rolling mill stands, wires mills, bar and shape mills, cold or hot sheet mills and cogging mills
Brass solid cages or pin-type cages are mainly used in four-row cylindrical roller bearings
