Features, differences and uses of 14 types of bearings
1. Angular contact ball bearings
There is a contact angle between the ring and the ball. The larger the contact angle, the greater the axial load capacity. The smaller the contact angle, the more conducive to high-speed rotation. Single-row bearings can withstand radial loads and unidirectional axial loads. The two single-row angular contact ball bearings combined on the back of the structure share an inner ring and an outer ring, which can bear radial load and bidirectional axial load.

Main uses: automobiles, tractors, machine tools, motors, water pumps, agricultural machinery, textile machinery, etc.
Seven, thrust ball bearings
It consists of a washer-shaped raceway ring with a raceway and a ball and cage assembly. The raceway ring that matches the shaft is called the shaft ring, and the raceway ring that matches the housing is called the seat ring. The two-way bearing is matched with the secret shaft of the middle ring. The one-way bearing can bear the one-way axial load, and the two-way bearing can bear the two-way axial load (both can not bear the radial load).
Thrust ball bearing
Main uses: automobile steering pins, machine tool spindles.
8. Thrust roller bearings
Thrust roller bearings are used to bear the main axial load of the shaft, combined longitudinal load, but the longitudinal load shall not exceed 55% of the axial load. Compared with other thrust roller bearings, this type of bearing has a lower friction factor, higher speed, and has the ability to adjust the center. The rollers of type 29000 bearings are asymmetrical spherical rollers, which can reduce the relative sliding of the stick and raceway in the work, and the rollers are long and large in diameter, the number of rollers is large, and the load capacity is large. They are usually lubricated by oil. Grease lubrication can be used at low speeds.
Thrust roller bearing
Main uses: hydroelectric generators, crane hooks.
Nine, cylindrical roller bearings
The rollers of cylindrical roller bearings are usually guided by the two ribs of a bearing ring. The cage roller and the guide ring form an assembly that can be separated from the other bearing ring and is a separable bearing.
This kind of bearing is more convenient to install and disassemble, especially when the inner and outer ring and the shaft and the shell are required to be interference fit. This type of bearing is generally only used to bear radial load. Only single row bearings with ribs on the inner and outer rings can bear small steady axial loads or large intermittent axial loads.
Cylindrical Roller Bearings
Main uses: large motors, machine tool spindles, axle boxes, diesel engine crankshafts, automobiles, gearboxes to keep in mind, etc.
10. Four-point contact ball bearings
It can bear radial load and bidirectional axial load. A single bearing can replace the angular contact ball bearing with front or back combination. It is suitable for bearing pure axial load or synthetic load with large axial load component. This type of bearing can bear any direction One of the contact angles can be formed under the axial load, so the ferrule and the ball are always in contact with three points on both sides of any contact line.
Four point contact ball bearing
Main uses: aircraft jet engines, gas turbines.
11. Thrust cylindrical roller bearings
It is composed of washer-shaped raceway ring (shaft washer, seat washer), cylindrical roller and cage assembly. Cylindrical rollers are processed on a convex surface, so the pressure distribution between the roller and the raceway surface is even, and it can bear unidirectional axial load, with large axial load capacity and strong axial rigidity.
Thrust cylindrical roller bearings
Main uses: oil drilling rigs, iron and steel making machinery.
12. Thrust needle roller bearings
Separate bearings are composed of raceway rings, needle rollers and cage components, and can be combined with stamped thin raceway rings or cut thick raceway rings. Non-separable bearings are integral bearings composed of raceway rings, needle rollers and cage components that are processed by precision stamping. They can withstand unidirectional axial loads. This type of bearing occupies a small space and is conducive to the compact design of the machine. Only needle roller and cage components are used, and the mounting surface of the shaft and housing is used as the raceway surface.

14. Outer spherical ball bearing with seat
The outer spherical ball bearing with seat consists of an outer spherical ball bearing with seals on both sides and a cast (or stamped steel plate) bearing seat. The internal structure of the outer spherical ball bearing is the same as that of the deep groove ball bearing, but the inner ring of this kind of bearing is wider than the outer ring, and the outer ring has a truncated spherical outer surface, which can automatically adjust the center when matched with the concave spherical surface of the bearing seat.
Main uses: mining, metallurgy, agriculture, chemical industry, textile, printing and dyeing. Conveying machinery, etc.
Select the appropriate type of bearing grease and no impurities. The amount of grease applied in the bearing cavity should be 1/3-2/3 of the space inside the bearing room.
Different types of bearings need to be installed according to the requirements of the installation process. In principle, the method of copper rod striking is not allowed in the bearing assembly, otherwise the bearing will be damaged due to uneven force on the bearing inner ring. When using the hot sleeve method to assemble the bearing, carefully check the matching dimensions of the bearing and the journal in advance. Because the hot sleeve is different from the cold sleeve, it is not easy to find the matching tolerance and interference between the journal and the bearing during the process of inserting the bearing into the hot sleeve. Whether the degree is appropriate. After the bearing is heated, the motor or other accessories should not be moved to prevent the bearing from shifting.
Before assembling the motor coupling, it is necessary to measure its matching size with the shaft diameter. At the same time, check the tightness of the keyway and the key at the end of the shaft to prevent the motor from rotating and causing noise due to the loosening of the key.
