1.0 INTRODUCTION
Bearings are load carrying mechanical machine component.
No machine can run without bearing.
Different or same machine use different bearings.
So, a brief knowledge about different types of bearings, construction, material etc.
will be helpful to every technical person.
Main functions of bearing are:
To carry the load of moving parts T o help the shaft for easy movement
To reduce friction To hold the shaft
2.0 CLASsIFICATION OF BEARINGS
Mainly 02 types:
Anti-friction or Roling Elements &
Plain or Journal Bearings
3.0 TYPE OF ANTI-FRICTION BEARING
Anti-friction bearings are mainly 02 types:
Ball bearing &
Roller bearing
A. Ball Bearing:
Different ball bearings are
a) Deep groove ball bearing
b) Angular contact ball bearing
c) Self-aligning bal bearing
B. Roller Bearing:
Different roller bearings are-
a) Cylindrical roller bearing
b) Taper roller bearing
c) Spherical roller bearing
-Outer ring
4.0 CONSTRUCTION OF ANTI-FRICTION BEARING
Anti-friction bearing consist of Inner ring
a) Outer ring
b) Inner ring Rolling element
c) Ball/Roller Ball)
d) Cage Cage
e) Inner raceway &
f Outer raceway

A. Ball Bearing:
Ball bearing is point contact type bearing.
a) Deep groove ball bearing
Balls are placed in the central groove of the
rings.
The race way (groove) is too much deep.
The shape of the two rings is similar.
Can accommodate radial load & also some axial
load.
b) Angular contact ball bearing
Balls of these bearing contacts at an angle with
the central line.
Thickness of each ring is thick at ball-seat side
and thin at other side.
Designed for combined loads.
c) Self-aligning ball bearing
Balls (double row) are fixed on inner ring.
This Bearing is suitable for misalignment.
B. Roller Bearing:
Roller Bearing is line contact type bearing.
a) Cylindrical roller bearing
Roller is cylindrical shape.
Can accommodate heavy radial load.
b) Taper roller bearing
Roller is taper shape.
Can accommodate heavy combined loads
c)Spherical roller bearing
Have singleldouble rows of rollers.
These are self-aligning.
Diameter of the roller is maximum at center as
sphere.
High radial load & axial load can bear.

5.0 TYPES OF PLAIN BEARINNG
Plain bearings are surface contact
type.
Their one point is common that they are shaped as cylinders/ sections of cylinders
Materials and construction methods vary, but all bearings serve the same purpose.
Main types of plain bearings are: Bush type, Splittype & Tilting Pad type
A. Bush Type:
The term bushing refers to the thin wall type
bearing.
Its strength comes from the thickness and
rigidity of the housing.
Most bushings are made of brass, bronze,
gun-metal etc.
Suitable for light loads & low-speed
applications.
B. Split Type:
Split types bearings are generally divided into two parts.
Split bearing can be replaced on a shaft more easily.
Large diameter bearings are commonly this type.

C. Tilting Pad Type:
-Consists of several Babbitted bearing pads or segments (05 is the most
common number) that are free to pivot.
Generally used in very high speed machines.
Tilting pad thrust bearing are also used in high -speed machines.

6.0 ROLLING ELEMENT BEARING DESIGNASTION
Each metric standard rolling element bearing has a specific basic designation
which indicates the type of bearing and standard dimensional sizes.
These designations are of 3, 4 or 5 figures or a combination of letters
Mechanical Engineering Department, TICI, Polash, Narsingdi - 1611
07.04
Bearings with bore diameters less than 10 mm are designated by 3 figures; the
last figure represents the bore diameter in mm.
Last 2 digits indicates d/5 mm (d is bore diameter having minimum value 20 mm)
SKF bearing basic & supplementary designations are mentioned briefly:
1 for self-aligning ball bearings
2 for spherical roller bearings
3 for taper roller bearings
4 for double row deep groove ball bearings
5 for thrust ball bearings
6 for single row deep groove ball bearings
7 for single row angular contact ball bearings
N for cylindrical roller bearings (NU, NJ, NUP, N types) etc.
