FUNCTIONS OF BEARINGS

The bearing supports the shaft as the axle and

holds it in correct position with respect to frame
or casing

The bearing ensure free rotation of the shaft or

axle with minimum friction.

The bearing takes up the forces acting on the

shaft or the axle and transmits to the frame or
casing.
 classification of bearings

According to nature of relative motion between two

contacting surface

 Sliding contact bearing

Hydrodynamic bearing

Hydrostatic bearing

 Rolling contact bearing.

Ball bearing

Roller bearing
 Load supporting
high pressure fluid
film is created due to
the shape and
relative motion
between the two
surfaces
 The load supporting
fluid film is created
by an external source,
like pump.
GUIDE BEARING

The relative
sliding motion
between the two
parts is linear

Eg.. Guide ways

of lathe machine
JOURNAL (SLEEVE) BEARING

If the relative sliding

motion between the two
parts is of rotation and
the pressure on the
bearing is
perpendicular to the
axis of the shaft, then
the bearing is known as
journal or sleeve
bearing.
THRUST BEARING

If the relative

sliding motion
between the two
parts is of rotation
and the pressure
on the bearing is
parallel to the axis
of the shaft, then
the bearing is
known as thrust
bearing
In ball bearing spherical
balls are used as a rolling
element.

The contact between the

inner race and the ball or the
outer race is a point contact.

So it is higher pair.

The roller bearings
use the cylindrical
rollers, taper
rollers, or spherical
rollers as the rolling
elements.

The contact
between the two
race is line contact.
APPLICATIONS OF ROLLING CONTACT BEARING

o Industrial and automotive gear boxes and at

different automobile.

o Electric motors.

o Machine tool spindle.

o Small size centrifugal pumps.

o Automobile front and rear axles.

 ADVANTAGES
 Ability to resist the shock load.

 Easy for mounting.

 Low starting and running friction except high

speed

 More accuracy in shaft alignment.

 Compact required less space.

 Low maintenance cost because no lubrication

required during operation.
Bearings are necessary while
transferring the motion from one
shaft to another for avoiding the
friction and reducing the losses due to
friction.

For heavy axial load with high

rotational speed rolling contact
bearings are suitable.
