    Ball bearings are the most common type and contain balls that roll between two metal races to reduce friction. Roller bearings use cylinders instead of balls and can support more radial load. Ball thrust bearings support low speed loads while roller thrust bearings support large radial and thrust loads. Tapered roller bearings also support both radial and thrust loads. Bearings are used in applications like wheels, hard drives, conveyor belts, car transmissions and anywhere friction needs to be reduced to make machines durable, quiet and efficient.

    TOPIC: BEARINGS

    TYPES OF BEARINGS AND THEIR USES

    Presenter: Mehroz Sana

    Introduction

    A bearing is a component used to reduce friction in a machine.


    Bearings may be classified broadly according to the motions they
    allow and according to their principle of operation.
    The concept behind a bearing is very simple: Things roll better than
    they slide. Bearings reduce friction by providing smooth metal balls
    or rollers, and a smooth inner and outer metal surface for the balls
    to roll against. These balls or rollers "bear" the load, allowing the
    device to spin smoothly.
    Common motions include linear and rotary. A linear bearing allows
    motion along a straight line, for example a drawer being pulled out
    and pushed in. A rotary bearing allows motion about a center, such
    as a wheel on a shaft or a shaft through a housing. Common kinds
    of rotary motion include both one-direction rotation and oscillation
    where the motion only goes through part of a revolution.

    Main Types of Bearings

    Ball Bearing, which is the most common of all the types. A sphere is
    used in between two races which results in a very less contact area
    making it move very smoothly. Used in applications where there is a
    relatively small radial or thrust load.
    Roller Bearings, in which cylinders are used instead of spheres,
    increasing the contact area so that it holds a greater radial load.
    Ball Thrust Bearings are used for low speed applications and cannot
    handle much radial load.
    Roller Thrust Bearings, which can support large thrust loads.
    Tapered Roller Bearings can support large radial and thrust loads.

    Some Uses

    Ball bearings are found in everything from inline skates to hard


    drives.
    Roller Bearings are used in applications like Conveyer Belt Rollers.
    Roller Thrust Bearings are used to support thrust loads in car
    transmission between gears, in between housing and the rotating
    shafts, etc.

    Conclusion
    Therefore bearings are used in a lot of different mechanical
    devices and are very important to make different applications
    durable, noiseless and efficient.
