SX series bearings employ cylindrical rollers arranged in a crossed configuration, with adjacent rollers oriented at 90° angles to each other within precision-ground V-shaped raceways. This arrangement provides line contact between the rollers and raceways, enabling the bearing to simultaneously support radial loads, axial loads in both directions, and tilting moments within a single, compact unit.

The split outer ring design simplifies assembly and disassembly, allowing the bearing to be installed without the need for complex pressing or heating procedures. The solid inner ring provides structural integrity and maintains high precision for rotation applications. Both rings are equipped with mounting holes, enabling direct bolted attachment to the machine structure without requiring additional adaptor plates or housings. The bearings are typically supplied with spacer retainers between rollers to ensure smooth, consistent rotation and prevent roller-to-roller contact.
