 What is a Bearing ?
A bearing is a mechanical element that
permits relative motion between two
parts, such as the shaft and the
housing, with minimum friction. The
functions of bearing are-

1)The bearing ensures free rotation of

the shaft or the axle with minimum
friction.

2)The bearing supports the shaft or

the axle and holds it in correct
position.

3)The bearing takes up the forces that

act on the shaft or the axle and
transmits them to the frame or the
foundation.

 Classification of Bearing
1) Depending upon the direction of force that acts on the bearings-

• Radial Bearing that supports the load which is perpendicular to the

axis of the shaft.
• Thrust Bearing that supports the load which acts along the axis of the
shaft.

2) Depending upon the type of friction between the shaft and the bearing surface-

• Sliding Contact Bearing where the shaft slides over the surface of the
bush resulting in friction and wear which can be reduced by a film of
lubricating oil.
• Rolling Contact Bearing where rolling elements, such as balls or rollers
are introduced between the surfaces that are in relative motion.

 Selection Of Bearing-Type
The guidelines for selecting a proper type of bearing are as follows:-
 For low and medium radial loads, ball bearings are used, whereas for heavy loads
roller bearings are selected.

 Self-aligning ball bearings and spherical roller bearings are used in applications
where a misalignment between the axes of the shaft and housing is likely to exist.

 Thrust ball bearings are used for medium thrust loads whereas for heavy thrust
loads, cylindrical roller thrust bearings are used.

 Deep groove ball bearings, angular contact bearings and spherical roller bearings
are used in applications where the load acting on the bearing has two components-
radial and thrust.

 Designation
The main designation is a seven digit number with optional alphanumeric digits
before or after to define additional parameters. Here the digits will be defined as:
7654321.
Digits one and two together are used to define the inner diameter (ID), or bore
diameter of the bearing. For diameters between 20 and 495, the designation is
multiplied by five to give the ID; e.g. designation 08 is a 40 mm ID. For inner
diameters less than 20 the following designations are used: 00 = 10 mm ID,
01 = 12 mm ID, 02 = 15 mm ID, and 03 = 17 mm ID. The third digit defines the
"diameter series", which defines the outer diameter (OD). The diameter series,
defined in ascending order is: 0, 8, 9, 1, 7, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

0) Ball radial single-row 1) Ball radial spherical double-row

2) Roller radial with short cylindrical rollers 3) Roller radial spherical double-row
4) Roller needle or with long cylindrical rollers 5) Roller radial with spiral rollers
6) Ball radial-thrust single-row 7) Roller tapered
8) Ball thrust, ball thrust-radial 9) Roller thrust or thrust-radial

Applications of Rolling Contact Bearing
Rolling Contact Bearings are used in following
applications:-
 Machine tool spindles.

 Automobile front and rear axle.

 Gear boxes.

 Small size electric motors.

 Rope sheave, crane hook and hoisting drum.
