 NEED OF BEARINGS?
 Bearing is a machine element that have constrained
relative motions and used to reduces friction between
moving parts of machine to obtain desired motion or
we can say that the machine elements which are
support the rotating parts of a machine and reduce
friction are called bearings.
 They transmit the load from a rotating member to a
stationary member known as frame or housing.
Common motions permitted by bearings are:
 Axial rotation e.g. shaft rotation
 Linear motion e.g. Carriage over the bed, drawer

in the table
 spherical rotation e.g. ball and socket joint
 Hinge motion e.g. door
 Radial Load
 ThrustLoad
 Combination of both.

On the basis of contact they have between the
rotating and the stationary member

 Plain bearings
(Sliding contact)

 Rolling bearings
(Rolling contact)
Advantages :
It takes up less space.
It has a rigid construction
It will carry loads more effectively
It is suitable for larger diameter shafts
It is cheap to manufacture and cost less.
They operate more silently.
Disadvantages:
It has higher frictional resistance
It is more difficult to lubricate
There are limited choice of designs
available
The concept behind a ball bearing is very simple:
 Things roll better than they slide
 Two surfaces can roll over each other, the friction
is greatly reduced.
 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.

Inner Race

Cage or Separator
Advantages
 The rolling bearings have a lower frictional
resistance than plain bearings
 The Lubrication of rolling bearings is easier
because they can be "grease packed'
 A greater choice of roller bearing designs are
available than for plain bearings
Disadvantages
 It takes up more space than plain bearings
 The rolling bearings are not as rigid as plain
bearings
 More nosier in operation than plain bearings

 Tapered roller bearings.

 Roller thrust bearings and
Cutaway view of a ball bearing
 In a ball bearing, the load is transmitted from the
outer race to the ball and from the ball to the
inner race
 Since the ball is a sphere, it only contacts the

inner and outer race at a very small point, which

helps it spin very smoothly
 But it also means that there is not very much

contact area holding that load, so if the bearing is

overloaded, the balls can deform and spoil the
bearing
 Less expensive and suitable for lighter loads and

applications
•Tapered roller bearings use conical rollers that run on conical races.
•Tapered roller bearings support both radial and axial loads, and
generally
can carry higher loads than ball bearings due to greater contact area.
•Taper roller bearings are extensively used in Machine spindles and
gear boxes using helical gears
• The disadvantage of this bearing is that due to manufacturing
complexities, tapered roller bearings are usually more expensive than
ball bearings
My training at TATA STEEL was very fruitful and I gained a lot of practical
Knowledge about various manufacturing processes and techniques. I also
Got the opportunity to realize the various challenges faced and expertise
Required to solve these problems.

It was indeed a great experience undergoing training at the plant.
