BEARINGS
A bearing is a device to permit constrained
relative motion between two parts, typically rotation
or linear movement.
Bearings may be classified broadly according to
the motions they allow and according to their
principle of operation
BEARINGS
FUNCTION OF A BEARING
• The main function of a rotating shaft is to transmit
power from one end of the line to the other.
• It needs a good supportsupport to ensure stabilitystability and
frictionless rotation. The supportsupport for the shaft is
known as “bearing”.
• The shaft has a “running fit” in a bearing. All bearing
are provided some lubrication arrangement to
reduced friction between shaft and bearing.
• Hold &Guide to shaft
• Smooth & Free motion to Save power

Self Aligning Ball Bearings
Self aligning ball
bearings are suitable for
applications where
misalignment can arise
from errors in mounting
or shaft deflection. The
steel balls, cage, and
inner ring can rotate
freely at a certain angle,
as it is stated that the
bearings have self-
aligning features.
Self Aligning Ball Bearings
Specifications & Standards
• Standard cage types - All bearing series
are equipped with a pressed cage, except
2322S, which is equipped with a machined
cage.
• Misalignment - They are designed to
adjust to the angular misalignment from
one bearing to the other within the
permissible limits.
• Cages - There are standard cages but
some may have pressed steel cage, glass
fiber reinforced, or machined brass cages
Advantages Of Self Aligning Ball
Bearings
• Have the lowest friction of all rolling
bearings.
• Run cooler even at high speeds.
• Easy mounting and dismounting.
• The permissible operating speed is not
dependent on the common criteria like
heat generation or cage stability and
strength.
Types Of Self Aligning Ball
Bearings
• Basic open design
• Sealed Bearings
• Bearings with Extended Inner Ring
The two basic designs of double row self-aligning ball
bearings are standard and "E" shaped. The "E"
shaped have a larger load carrying capacity and can
be used in a wider range of applications
They are available in three designs:
Application Of Self Aligning Ball
Bearings
• Self-aligning ball bearings are used for
commercial ground shafting applications.
• Since axial load capacity is limited, self-
aligning ball bearings are not suitable for
applications with heavy axial loads.
• Furthermore, if an adapter is used on the
tapered bore of the inner diameter,
installation and disassembly are much
simpler and for this reason adapters are
often used on equipment with drive shafts.

Cylindrical Roller Bearings
Cylindrical roller bearings use
rollers for rolling elements, and
therefore has a high load
capacity. The rollers are guided
by ribs on either the inner or
outer ring, therefore these
bearings are also suitable for
high speed applications. The
inner and outer rings can be
separated to facilitate assembly,
and both can be fit with shaft or
housing tightly.
Cylindrical Roller Bearings
• Very High Radial Load Capacity
• Good Speed Capability
• Separable Inner or Outer Ring
• Limited Misalignment Capability
• Rings Can Move Axially During
Operation (within limits)
Applications
– Large Electric Motors
– Gearboxes/Transmissions,
Presses
– Machine Tool Spindles
– Steel Mills (Rolling Mills)
Physical Characteristics
Although the rolling elements in cylindrical roller
bearings are called "cylindrical," they are not true
cylinders. True cylinders would produce stress
concentrations at the ends of the roller-race contact,
resulting in high wear and high sensitivity to
misalignment. Instead, rollers are usually crowned or
end relieved.
Application Of Cylindrical Roller Bearings
Cylindrical roller bearings are used in power generation,
oilfield, mining and aggregate processing, gear drives,
rolling mills, machine tools, transmissions, vibration
machines and as wheelset bearings for rail vehicles.
Needle Roller Bearings
Needle roller bearings use needle
rollers as rolling elements. The
needle rollers are a maximum of 5
mm in diameter and are 3 to 10 times
as long as they are in diameter.
Because the bearings use needle
rollers as rolling elements, the cross-
section is thin, but they have a high
load capacity for their size. Because
of the large number of rolling
elements, the bearings have high
rigidity and are ideally suited to
wobbling or pivoting motion.

Physical Characteristics
• referred to as needle rollers.
• Needle Rollers are used for needle roller
bearings and are rigid and highly accurate.
• In spite of their low cross section the
bearings have a high load carrying
capacity.
• Available with or without an inner ring.
• The needle rollers are a maximum of 5
mm in diameter and are 3 to 10 times as
long as they are in diameter.
Advantages of Needle Roller
Bearings
• Due to the smaller cross-section, greater rigidity,
higher load-carrying capacity and lower inertia of
the needle roller bearings help size and weight
reductions in the machinery.
• Though they are less wide, their load carrying
capacity is high and is most suitable for
applications where the load is high and the radial
space is less.
• Needle roller bearings, which are designed to
withstand oscillation can operate under severe
conditions and interchange with sliding bearings.
Typical Applications
• Transmissions, transfer cases, engines
and valve trains
• Steering and braking systems
• Axle support
• Power tools
• Copiers, fax machines, paper-moving
equipment

Physical Characteristics
• Spherical roller bearings consist of an outer ring
having a continuous spherical raceway
• Within which operates two rows of barrel-shaped
rollers which are in turn guided by an inner ring
with two raceways separated by a center rib.
• This bearing has self-aligning properties, and
therefore is suited for use where misalignment
between the inner and outer rings occurs from
housing installation error or shaft flexure.
• Spherical roller bearings have a large capacity
for radial loads, axial loads in either direction,
and complex loads. .
Tapered Roller Bearings
• Designed for Heavy Axial/Radial
Loads In One Direction

Taper Roller Bearings
The taper roller bearings can carry
combinations of large radial and thrust
loads or thrust load only. Because of
the difference between the inner and
outer raceway contact angles, there is
a force component, which drives the
tapered rollers against the guide
flange. The relatively large sliding
friction generated at this flange makes
this bearing typically unsuitable for
high-speed applications without
special consideration to coolant /
lubricant. Typical applications include
construction machinery, gear
construction, vehicle manufacture and
rolling mills.

• Durable Steel Cage
• Dimensionally Interchangeable With Other
Bearing Manufacturers
Types Of Taper Roller
Bearings
• Single-row tapered roller bearings
• Double-row tapered roller bearings
• Four row tapered roller bearings
Minimum load - For satisfactory operation, the bearings must
be subjected to the minimum load that is calculated by
Frm = 0,02 C
where
Frm , =, minimum radial load, kN
C, =, basic dynamic load rating
Physical Characteristics
• Taper roller bearings have tapered inner and
outer ring raceways between which tapered
rollers are arranged.
• The projection lines of all the tapered surfaces
meet at a common point on the bearing axis.
Their design makes taper roller bearings
particularly suitable for the accommodation of
combined (radial and axial) loads.
• The axial load carrying capacity of the bearings
is largely determined by the contact angle. The
larger the angle, the higher the axial load
carrying capacity.

Applications
Applications Of Taper Roller
Bearings
• In many applications taper roller bearings are
used in back-back pairs so that axial forces can
be supported equally in either direction.
• Pairs of taper roller bearings are used in car and
vehicle wheel bearings where they must cope
simultaneously with large vertical (radial) and
horizontal (axial) forces.

Thrust Ball Bearings
Thrust Ball Bearings
carry pure thrust
(axial) loads. When a
load is properly
applied to this bearing,
the internal contact
points are aligned on a
plane parallel to the
shaft. Radial loads
dislodge the balls from
their track. Thrust ball
bearings can be single
direction and double
direction designs
Needle Roller Thrust Bearings
Needle roller thrust bearings
are for heavy axial loads. They
require a minimum axial space
and are arranged rather stiffly.
They can accommodate axial
loads acting in one direction
i.e. they are single direction
bearings. It can take as less
space as a thrust washer can.
The roller, cage and the
raceways can all be separated
and be combined with washers
of various designs.
Cylindrical Roller Thrust Bearings
Cylindrical roller thrust
bearings are suitable for heavy
axial load accommodation.
They are relatively insensitive
to shock loads. They are very
stiff and require little axial
space. They are most
commonly available as single
direction bearings and can
accommodate axial loads
acting in single direction.
Cylindrical thrust bearings
may be produced in single row
and double row designs.
Double row patterns are
mainly used where thrust ball
bearings have insufficient load
carrying capacity

    Taper Roller Bearings Thetaper roller bearings can carry combinations of large radial and thrust loads or thrust load only. Because of the difference between the inner and outer raceway contact angles, there is a force component, which drives the tapered rollers against the guide flange. The relatively large sliding friction generated at this flange makes this bearing typically unsuitable for high-speed applications without special consideration to coolant / lubricant. Typical applications include construction machinery, gear construction, vehicle manufacture and rolling mills.

    Types Of TaperRoller Bearings • Single-row tapered roller bearings • Double-row tapered roller bearings • Four row tapered roller bearings Minimum load - For satisfactory operation, the bearings must be subjected to the minimum load that is calculated by Frm = 0,02 C where Frm , =, minimum radial load, kN C, =, basic dynamic load rating
  • 64.
    Physical Characteristics • Taperroller bearings have tapered inner and outer ring raceways between which tapered rollers are arranged. • The projection lines of all the tapered surfaces meet at a common point on the bearing axis. Their design makes taper roller bearings particularly suitable for the accommodation of combined (radial and axial) loads. • The axial load carrying capacity of the bearings is largely determined by the contact angle. The larger the angle, the higher the axial load carrying capacity.

    Thrust Ball Bearings ThrustBall Bearings carry pure thrust (axial) loads. When a load is properly applied to this bearing, the internal contact points are aligned on a plane parallel to the shaft. Radial loads dislodge the balls from their track. Thrust ball bearings can be single direction and double direction designs

    Needle Roller ThrustBearings Needle roller thrust bearings are for heavy axial loads. They require a minimum axial space and are arranged rather stiffly. They can accommodate axial loads acting in one direction i.e. they are single direction bearings. It can take as less space as a thrust washer can. The roller, cage and the raceways can all be separated and be combined with washers of various designs.
  • 71.
    Cylindrical Roller ThrustBearings Cylindrical roller thrust bearings are suitable for heavy axial load accommodation. They are relatively insensitive to shock loads. They are very stiff and require little axial space. They are most commonly available as single direction bearings and can accommodate axial loads acting in single direction. Cylindrical thrust bearings may be produced in single row and double row designs. Double row patterns are mainly used where thrust ball bearings have insufficient load carrying capacity
