Bearings – The Different Types and What They Are Used For

Posted on Friday, September 11, 2009 in Pallet Truck Articles

There are many different types of bearings used, all have advantages and disadvantages for them, and so are used for different purposes and in different situations.

Ball Bearing

A ball bearing used to turn a ball and move the load. Ball bearings are used less expensive than other camps, such as cylinders in rolling bearings and have a high accuracy. When moving loads lighter ball does not have as much friction as a rolling bearing, and radial and Axel supportLoads. Radial loads are perpendicular to the shaft and Axel loads are parallel.

Roller Bearing

Rolling cylinder used instead of balls, and generally have a larger diameter. Roller bearings can support radial loads, can usually higher capacity than ball bearings, but have higher friction under axial load. Roller bearings are mainly used in rotary-powered equipment.

Thrust ball bearings

A thrust ball bearing isof two steel wheels with ball is in them. They are used primarily for low-speed devices and can not with heavy loads, they can be found for example in the pan bar stools and tables again.

Tapered roller bearings

Tapered roller bearings are used to support large radial and axial forces. There is instead a series of tapered or conical rollers in a cage between the inner and outer bearing tracks. They are used in many auto hubs. The disadvantages, taper roller bearingsCamp are that they are usually quite expensive, and they add more friction than a ball bearing.

Needle roller bearings

Needle roller bearings are similar to roller bearings, but the cylinders are thinner and longer as needles. These are often used because they reduce the friction of the rotating surface. Needle roller bearings are used in engines and engine parts and transmissions, the drive shaft of a rear-drive car has at least 8 needle roller bearings.
