As bearing type number 31, the toroidal roller bearing was added to the MESYS Rolling Bearing Calculation. In contrast to the barrel roller bearing, this has no shoulders, and the roller is not centered within the inner race. The outer race is not a sphere but uses a larger radius. The bearing supports only small axial load, and the radial clearance is dependent on the axial displacement.
