 TYPES OF BEARINGS USED IN LPADING VECHICLES

There are several types of bearings used in automotive applications, each

designed for specific purposes. Here are some common types:

a. Ball Bearings:
- Specifications: These bearings use spherical balls to separate the two
bearing races. They are designed for applications with low to moderate axial
and radial loads.

- Basis for Selection: Ball bearings are chosen when smooth, low-friction
movement is required, such as in wheel hubs.

b. Roller Bearings:
- Specifications: Roller bearings use cylindrical or tapered rollers to
separate the bearing races. They are designed for higher load-carrying
capacities compared to ball bearings.

- Basis for Selection: Roller bearings are used in applications like

transmission and differential systems where high load-carrying capacity is
crucial.

c. Tapered Roller Bearings:

- Specifications: These bearings have tapered inner and outer races that
allow for thrust (axial) and radial load support.

- Basis for Selection: Tapered roller bearings are often used in the wheel
bearings and differential systems to handle both radial and axial loads.

d. Needle Bearings:

- Specifications: Needle bearings are compact, with thin, long rollers. They
are ideal for applications with limited space and high load capacity.

- Basis for Selection: Needle bearings are used in small, tight areas like
universal joints and constant-velocity (CV) joints.

e. Cylindrical Roller Bearing

Cylindrical roller bearings offer a high load capacity and can operate at high
speeds. They are often used in engine bearings, gearboxes, and other
applications where there is a need to support a rotating shaft with both radial
and axial loads.

-Basis of selection : High radial load capacity: Ideal for applications with
heavy radial loads.
High speed capability: Suitable for a wide range of applications.
Moderate axial load capacity: Accommodates light to moderate axial loads
