TYPE OF BEARINGS
Plain
Bearing
 Plain bearing is simplest type of
bearing ,comprising just a
bearing surface and no rolling
elements
 also known as specific styles
bushing, journal bearings,
sleeve bearing, rifle bearing.
 These bearings are mostly suited
for high speed and high load
 Rolling element bearings
 : A rolling-element bearing,
also known as a rolling
bearing,is a bearing which
carries a load by placing round
elements between the two
pieces. The relative motion of
the pieces causes the round
elements to roll with very little
rolling resistance and with
little sliding.

TYPES OF ROLLING BEARING
 Ball bearing

 Roller bearing

 Ball bearings are generally better suited for higher speeds and
lighter load ,while roller bearings are used for relatively slower
speed and heavier load.
 Cylindrical roller bearings utilize cylinders with approx
length/ratios ranging from 1.1 to 1.3
 Needle bearings have rollers whose lengths are at least 4 times
their diameter.
 BALL BEARINGS
o DEEP GROOVE BALL
BEARINGS
o The most popular types
among rolling bearing.
o Radial load and axial load in
both directions can be
accommodated.
o Suitable for operation at
high speed with low noise
and low vibration.
 ANGULAR CONTACT
BALL BEARINGS
 Angular contact bearing are
common in applications
involving heavy thrust load.
 single row angular bearings are
good for thrust in one direction
where double row angular
bearings can carry thrust in
either direction.
BALL BEARING
o SELF ALIGMENT BALL  BALL THRUST BEARING
BEARING  composed of ball bearing
o There are two sets of balls which run on a supported in a ring, can be
pair of grooves on the inner ring, with a
single outer-ring concave surface.
used in low thrust applications
 This allows the bearing to accommodate where there is little radial load.
misalignment of the shaft.
 The self-aligning radial contact bearings
are a popular choice in applications
involving heavy load ,high speed and long
bearing span but they can not withstand
high thrust load.
CYLINDRICAL ROLLER BEARING
 CYLINDRICAL ROLLER
THRUST BEARING
 These bearings are suitable for
arrangements that have to
support heavy axial loads.
 Can only accommodate axial
loads acting in one direction.
 CYLINDRICAL ROLLER BEARING
 Roller bearings typically have
higher load capacity than ball
bearings, but a lower capacity and
higher friction under loads
perpendicular to the primary
supported direction.

 Use of this type of bearing is

limited to low rotation speed.
NEEDLE ROLLER BEARING
 NEEDLE ROLLER THRUST
BEARING
 These bearing can
accommodate heavy loads and
shock load.
 these bearings provide a high
degree of stiffness with in
minimum space
 NEEDLE ROLLER
BEARING
 These bearings are roller
bearing with cylindrical roller
bearing are small in diameter
,in spite of their low cross
section
 Needle roller bearing have a
high load carrying capacity and
extremely suitable for bearing
arrangements where radial
space is limited .
TAPER ROLLER BEARING
 TAPER ROLLER
THRUST BEARING
 Tapered thrust bearings include
rollers that have conical
sections.
 The bearing design ensures a
true rolling motion for
maximum bearing life and
load-carrying capacity.
 TAPER ROLLER BEARING
 Taper are generally used in
applications involving heavy
radial and thrust load.
 The bearing is elements in
rolling surface and
raceways intersect at
common point on axis.
 Taper roller bearing are
generally mounted in pair
,one facing the other

THRUST BEARING ROLLER BEARING
 Spherical roller thrust bearings
 Spherical roller bearings are
are ideal for applications where
inherently self-aligning and
conditions include heavy loads,
very robust. The two rows of
difficulties in establishing or
rollers make the bearings able
maintaining housing alignment
to carry heavy loads.
and problems with shaft
deflection.  These bearings are designed
for heavy radial loads and
moderate thrust .

JOURNAL BEARINGS
 Journal bearings are commonly used in turbine, large fans,
large pumps that operate at high speed and temperature.
 These types of bearings utilize hydrodynamics lubrication
,which means that load carrying surfaces of bearing are
separated by relatively thick film of lubrication that prevents
metal to metal contact.
 Journal bearings are coated with layer of white metal or
Babbitt material ,serves as bearing surface.
TYPE OF JOURNAL BEARINGS
 Cylindrical bearing.

 Cylindrical bearing with grooves.

 Elliptical lobe bearing.

 Tilting pad bearing.

CYLINDRICAL JOURNAL BEARING
 Cylindrical journal bearings are most
common type of type of journal
bearing used in industry.
 It consists of cylindrical steel blocking
plate with Babbitt bonded to inside
bearing surface and the bearings are
generally split into two halves for
ease of assembly.
