INTRODUCTION

A Bearing is a device to permit constrained relative motion between two

parts, typically rotation or linear movement.


When there is a relative motion between two machine parts, one of
which supports the others.The supporting member is called Bearing.

SELECTION OF BEARING
TYPE
Each bearing type displays characteristic properties, based on its design which makes it
more, or less appropriate for a given application

The most important factors to be considered when selecting a standard bearing type and
thus a facilitate an appropriate choice :

Available space
Loads
Misalignment
Precision
Speed
Quiet running
Stiffness
Axial displacement
Mounting and dismounting
Integral seals

LOADS
MAGNITUDE OF LOAD :-

The magnitude of the load is one of the factors that usually determines the size of the
bearing to be used. Generally, roller bearing are available to support heavier loads than
similar size ball bearing and bearings having a full compliment of rolling elements can
accommodate heavier loads than the corresponding caged bearing.

DIRECTION OF LOAD


Radial load :-
The load which comes perpendicular on the
shaft called redial load.
Cylindrical roller
bearing, needle roller bearing, and
toroidal roller bearing can only support
pure Radial loads.

DIRECTION OF LOAD

Axial load :-

The load which comes axis on the shaft
called Axial load.

Thrust ball bearing and four point contact
ball bearing are suitable for light or
moderate loads that are purely axial.

DIRECTION OF LOAD
Combined load :-
A combined load comprises a redial and an
axial load acting simultaneously

For combined loads, single and double row
angular contact ball bearing, and single
row taper roller bearing are most
commonly used, although deep groove
ball bearing and spherical roller bearing
are suitable.

SPEED
The permissible operating temperature limits the speed at which rolling
bearings can be operated. Bearing types with low friction and correspondingly
low heat generation inside the bearing are therefore the most suitable for
high - speed operation.

BALL BEARING

A Ball bearing is a common type
of rolling element bearing.

-Point contact; support radial
and axial loads.

ANGULAR CONTACT BALL
BEARING


Designed for axial loading;
used in pairs

These bearing are used where the thrust
load is equal to or greater than radial load.

THRUST BALL BEARING

Designed for pure
axial loading




This type comprises a row of balls
running between two flat groove washers
with balls track designed to absorbed
thrust load in one direction this does not
with stand any radial loads, also with this
is not suitable for higher speeds.


ROLLER BEARING
Roller bearings are used in rotary
applications to replace sliding movement
with low friction, rolling motion. The
principal types of roller bearings are
cylindrical, spherical, and tapered. In
general, roller bearings offer higher load
capacities than ball bearings of the same
size
CYLINDRICAL ROLLER BEARING

Supports high radial
loads; slower speed ratings

TAPERED ROLLER
BEARING
High radial and axial load
ratings; used in pairs

These bearings carry heavy loads
at moderate speed. There should
always be mounted in pairs with
opposed taper because in each
bearing the radial load produced an
axial component which needs
counter balance
SPHERICAL ROLLER BEARING
Allows for misalignment

These bearings are suitable for use with
independent support housing and
wherever there is possibility of a lack of
alignment. It can carry medium or heavy
redial or combined load.
NEEDLE ROLLER
BEARING


Thrust and radial types; typically
no inner race

These bearings are used in plans
where the speed in low or oscillation
takes place as in wrist pin, rocker arm,
universal joint etc.
