Deep groove ball bearings

Outline

• Most popular bearings, with balls inside.
• Capable of carrying radial loads as well as axial loads in both directions.
• Very precise, low-torque performance suitable for high-speed rotation.

Angular contact ball bearings

Outline

• Capable of carrying radial loads as well as axial loads in one direction.
• Commonly used in a pair, installed in opposite directions.
• Can carry greater axial loads than deep groove ball bearings.

Cylindrical roller bearings

Outline

• Suitable for heavy-load applications due to excellent radial-load-carrying capabilities.
• Superior performance of accommodating vibration and impact.

Tapered roller bearings

Outline

• Highly capable of carrying radial loads as well as axial loads in one direction.
• Commonly used in a pair, installed in opposite directions.

Spherical roller bearings

Outline

• Barrel-shaped rollers.
• Self-aligning capability to tolerate deflection or misalignment of the shaft or housing.

Needle roller bearings

Outline

• Excellent load-carrying performance despite small cross-section compared with ball bearings.
• Lightweight and compact. Useful in downsizing equipment.
