Rolling-Element Bearing Types

Rolling-element bearings are either ball bearings or roller
bearings.
Ball bearings are capable of higher speeds
Roller bearings can carry greater loads
Most rolling-element bearings can be classed in one of
three categories:
(1) radial for carrying loads that are primarily radial;
(2) thrust, or axial-contact for carrying loads that are primarily axial;
and
(3) angular-contact for carrying combined axial and radial loads.

Load Distribution
The load distribution in a loaded rolling bearing is
dependent upon the elastic deformations at the contact
points of the individual rollers.
The calculation of this load distribution and the
maximum rolling contact load exert a decisive influence
on the determination of the bearing's capacity rating C.

Load distribution in single-row inclined ball bearing: a pressure angle, dL race diameter,
Fa axial force, Fr radial force, f3 angle of direction of bearing load F, Q.p rolling element
load, 1/1 position angle of rolling element, Qmax maximum rolling element load, ed,_
extent of rolling race load.

Roller bearings
Roller bearings are classified by roller configuration:
(1) cylindrical,
(2) spherical,
(3) tapered, and
(4) needle.

Needle bearings
a special case of cylindrical roller bearings in which rollers have
a length-to-diameter ratio of four or greater.
