Rolling bearings & its types
Basic Types Of Rolling Bearings There are four basic types of rolling bearings: deep groove ball bearings, taper roller bearings, cylindrical roller bearings, and spherical roller bearings. Each type has a distinct design and is suited for different load characteristics. Deep groove ball bearings are the most common and can handle radial and axial loads. Taper roller bearings can handle both radial and axial loads. Cylindrical roller bearings are designed primarily for radial loads. Spherical roller bearings can handle misalignment and high speeds/loads. Rolling bearings are identified using designation systems which indicate type, dimensions, and other specifications.

- 4. Deep Groove BallBearing
- 5. Design Features • DeepGroove Ball Bearing(DGBB) are the simplest and most widely used bearings • Available in various sizes and unique features • The bearing is made of four basic components; Inner ring / Outer ring / Balls / Cages • They are non-separable by design and are suitable for high speeds • They can carry mainly radial load and also axial loads in both directions • Available in Open type / Pre-greased with metallic shields or rubber seals Deep Groove Ball Bearing
- 6. Applications • They aremost widely used bearings Deep Groove Ball Bearing • Ceiling fans • Home appliances • Pumps & motors • Power tools • Small engines • Small gearboxes • 2W/3W/4W
- 7. Bearing Sealing • Bearingsare to be protected against contamination like dust, dirt or moisture • Sealed bearings are pre-greased and fitted with either metallic shields or rubber seals • Medium temperature grease is being used for general applications • Standard pre-greased bearings are filled with normal fill grade; up to 35% of the free space • However, special greases are available for specific applications; High temperature/ Wide temperature / Low noise Deep Groove Ball Bearing
- 8. Bearing Sealing Deep GrooveBall Bearing Metallic Shielded Bearing • Pre-greased with metallic shield • Non-contact type • Low friction; Higher speed • Fair protection against dust Rubber Sealed Bearing • Pre-greased with rubber seals • Contact type • Fair friction; Fair speed • Very good protection against moisture/water

- 10. Design Features • TRBis a unique bearing designed to take combined load • The bearing is made of four basic components; Inner ring (Cone) / Outer ring (Cup) / Taper rollers / Cage • They can carry both radial and axial loads referred as combined load • Available in various sizes in single row, double row, four row and cartridge type • Available in Open type / Paired type / Integrated with grease & seals Taper Roller Bearing Single row TRB Double row TRB Four row TRB Thrust TRB Cartridge TRB
- 11. Taper Roller Bearing TrueRolling Motion • When the lines from cup, cone and rollers are extended, they meet at point on the axis. It is called apex • This is achieved through precision grinding and super finishing process • True rolling motion helps to have a perfect rotation of all the components with least friction • This is a unique feature of TRB , helping to have least or no slippage of rollers Apex True Rolling Motion When a perfectly ground taper roller is made to roll on a surface, it comes back to its original position without slippage. Taper roller Rolling path
- 12. Applications • TRB isa versatile bearing capable of taking both radial and axial load efficiently Taper Roller Bearing • Automotive hub assembly • Industrial gearbox • Small gearbox • Differential gearbox • Transmission box • Railway wagon wheels

- 14. Design Features • CylindricalRoller Bearings (CRB) are designed to take mainly radial loads used in many industrial applications • They are known as separable bearings. Inner and outer rings can be separated for ease of mounting • The bearing is made of four basic components; Inner ring / Outer ring / Cylindrical rollers / Cages • Bearings with many different cross sections are available; N / NU / NUP /NJ /NH types • They are available in single , double and four row design. • Bearings without cage are called as Full Complement bearings with higher load carrying capacity Cylindrical Roller Bearing Single row CRB Double row CRB Four row CRB Full Complement CRB Thrust CRB
- 15. Different cross sectiondesigns; • Different cross section design is achieved by selectively providing ribs on inner or outer rings • These CRBs can be used as • Locating bearing ( also known as fixed bearing) • Bearing location is fixed on shaft and in the housing. Takes both radial and axial loads • Non-locating bearing (also known as floating bearing) • Allows to float during thermal expansion. Takes only radial load. • Semi locating bearing • Takes radial load and axial load only in one direction. Allows expansion only one direction. Cylindrical Roller Bearing
- 16. Applications • CRBs aredesigned to take heavy radial loads with moderately high speed capability Cylindrical Roller Bearing • Heavy duty industrial motors • Industrial gearbox• Heavy duty equipment • Railway axle boxes

- 22. General guidelines Bearing DesignationSystem • Every bearing is marked with Alpha numeric number known as designation. It is to identify the type, bore, clearance and other special features • Typically the bearing designation comprises of three, four or five digit numbers with prefix and suffixes • The first number or letter represent the bearing type. • The last two numbers give information about the bore of the bearing • The second and third number refers to the dimensional series.
