Plain rollers allow loads to ride against the outer diameter or bearing face. Flanged rollers are designed for side guiding, where the intended load can ride up against the flange. V-Groove rollers can be used on v-shaped tracks, where contaminants don't build up as easily as they do on flat, level tracks.

 V-Groove Yoke Type MVYR Series bearings are designed to handle both axial and radial loads by using Tapered Roller Bearings or Deep Groove Ball Bearings. These bearings should be used when standard needle roller bearings are not sufficient to handle the thrust load found in certain applications.
