WHAT IS MEAN BY BEARING
 A bearing is a machine elements that constrains relative motion and
reduces friction between moving parts  to only the desired motion
FUNCTION OF A BEARING

 The main function of a rotating shaft is to transmit

power from one end of the line to the other.
 It needs a good support to ensure stability and frictionless
rotation. The support for the shaft is known as “bearing”.

 The shaft has a “running fit” in a bearing. All

bearing are provided some lubrication arrangement
to reduced friction between shaft and bearing.
JOURNAL BEARING
Journal bearing – in this the bearing pressure is exerted at right angles to
the axis of the shaft. The portion of the shaft lying within the bearing in
known as journal. Shaft are generally made of mild steel.

 BEARING TYPES AND NOMENCLATURE

A bearing number has four parts to it which includes four numbers and a set of

letters. Each of the first two numbers stand for something, the last two
designate size. The letters dictate the variation of the bearing. These letters
can also be followed by more letters designating internal clearance. In detail:

First number (will be a 1-7) designates the bearing type:

1 = Double Row self-aligning
2 = Double Row self-aligning (wide)
3 = Double Row
4 = Angular Contact
6 = Single Row Deep Groove
7 = Angular Contact

The second number designates the series, or cross section. This is basically

equivalent to the second number of a tire rating, it's a ratio of the bore to
the width of the bearing, which also controls the O.D. of the bearing. The
larger the cross section, the larger the O.D. of the bearing.
18 = Thin Section, Light
19 = Thin Section, Medium
0 = Very Light
2 = Light
3 = Medium
4 = Heavy
 The third number (which is a set of two numbers) indicates the bore (in mm) of
the bearings. All bearings are designated with metric standards, not inches.
Numbers are as follows:
00 = 10 mm
01 = 12 mm
02 = 15mm
03 = 17 mm
For 20-480mm bore bearings: Last 2 digits x 5 = Bore (mm)
i.e.- if the bearing number was 04 (04 x 5 = 20 mm), 05 (05 x 5 = 25 mm)

The letters after the number indicate the variation. These change from
manufacturer to manufacturer, but here are some of the common ones:

Plain -- No Shield
Type Z -- One Shield (normally will have metal shields)
Type 2Z -- Two Shields (one on each side)
Type RS1 -- One Seal (normally the R indicates rubber)
Type 2RS1 --Two Seals (one on each side)
Type LL -- Two Seals (just another manufacturer's designation)
CD -- 15 degree contact angle (for angular contact)
ACD = 25 degree contact angle (for angular contact)

The bearings can also have a C2, C3, C4 or C5 designation after the bearing
number. This indicates that the internal fit (the inner race to ball to outer
race) is not standard. If your bearing has one of these designators, make sure
you get a bearing with the same designator. A C2 is less than standard
clearance, while a C3, 4, and 5 are larger than standard

APPLICATIONS OF ROLLER BEARINGS

 Tapered roller bearing (TRB):

TRB can take both radial and axial loads and used for gear boxes for
heavy trucks, bevel-gear transmission, lathe spindles, etc.
 Thrust ball bearing:
It can take only thrust loads.
Thrust ball bearing are used for heavy axial loads and low speeds.
 Needle roller bearing:
It use small diameter of rollers. They are used for radial load at slow
speed and oscillating motion.
They have the advantage of light weight and occupy small space.
They are used in aircraft industry, live tail stock centers, bench-drill spindles,
etc.
