1. Ball Bearings Ball bearings are the most common type of bearing and are used in a wide range of applications. They consist of balls that reduce friction between the moving parts of the bearing.
- Deep Groove Ball Bearings: Ideal for high-speed applications, offering low friction and noise.
- Angular Contact Ball Bearings: Designed to handle combined radial and axial loads.
- Self-Aligning Ball Bearings: Automatically correct misalignment and are suitable for applications with shaft deflection.
2. Roller Bearings Roller bearings are designed to carry heavy loads and are available in various configurations to suit different applications.
- Cylindrical Roller Bearings: High radial load capacity and suitable for high-speed applications.
- Tapered Roller Bearings: Capable of handling both radial and axial loads, ideal for automotive and industrial machinery.
- Spherical Roller Bearings: Designed to handle misalignment and heavy loads, perfect for harsh environments.
