Best Answer

Roller bearings are bearings that use a set of cylindrical "rollers" arranged in a cage unit concentrically around the axis of rotation. The rollers serve to keep the two bearing surfaces from actually touching eachother and are either repacked with grease or replaced when worn beyond an exceptable tolerance (usually specified by the manufacturer). Automotive appications most commonly includes wheel bearings and sometimes internal engine parts that spin, like camshaft bearings and crank bearings, etc.
