These SKF RC series rollers with the CD suffix are loose cylindrical rollers, the rolling elements of a roller bearing supplied on their own. They let you renew a set or assemble a rolling support. Each roller is identified by its complete code, for example RC-15X15 CD, which gives the diameter and the length in millimeters.

A loose cylindrical roller is exactly what its name suggests: the rolling element of a roller bearing, purchased separately. Maintenance teams use it to replace worn or damaged rollers in a bearing that is taken apart and put back together, or to build guides and rolling supports where no complete bearing is used and the raceway is machined directly into the component.

Reading the SKF RC code is straightforward. The figures after RC are the roller diameter and length in millimeters: an RC-8X8 C measures 8 by 8, while an RC-20X30 CD measures 20 in diameter by 30 in length. The suffix at the end identifies the execution, and it matters. Two rollers of the same size but a different suffix are not interchangeable within one set.

For replacement work, renew the whole set rather than individual rollers. Mixed wear causes poor load distribution, and the tallest roller ends up carrying the load by itself, which is the quickest way to damage the assembly again. Inspect the raceways as well: if they show marks or flaking, a new roller will not perform for long.

To get a quote, send the full designation including the suffix and the number of rollers you need through WhatsApp or email. If the part number is not available, the diameter, the length and a photo of the roller or of the bearing it came from are enough for our team to identify it and suggest equivalents.
