Different Types Of Bearings And Its Applications

Bearing is a mechanism that allows the rotation of one object concerning another. This can be either fixed relative to an axis or movable concerning an axis. Bearings may also allow relative motion between other surfaces, such as the outer edges of two rolling wheels or surfaces separated by a distance to prevent contact between them. In the subsequent sections, we will see the different types of bearings along with their applications.

1. Ball Bearing

Ball bearings are an example of a rolling-element bearing. The balls are usually made of steel but can be ceramic, plastic or rubber.

The main advantage of ball bearings is their high load capacity and high load speed capability compared to other types of bearings such as needle roller mechanisms. They are also less expensive than other types of rolling elements due to lower production costs and a simpler manufacturing process (i.e., they don’t require any machining steps).

2. Roller Bearing

• Roller bearings are used for heavy loads. They are used in cars, trucks, and machinery.
• The roller bearings have a high load capacity and can withstand high speeds without disturbing the smooth running of your machine or vehicle. This makes it possible to use these bearings in the construction of roller coaster rides.

A. Cylindrical Roller Bearings

Cylindrical roller bearings like LSP Bearings [ตลับลูกปืน LSP, which is the term in Thai] are the most common type of rolling element bearing. They are suitable for high speeds and heavy loads. They can be used in both parallel and angular contact with shafts. They are also sometimes referred to as radial ball bearings because they have a cylindrical inner race which is like how a ball would roll around on its axis if it were free from any other forces acting upon it (like gravity).

B. Needle Roller Bearings

Needle roller bearings are used in very high-speed applications. They are available in a wide range of sizes and designs to meet the needs of many different industries.

The outer ring is usually cylindrical but can also be tapered or mushroom-shaped if required by the application. The inner ring is conical, with a small radius at its base and gradually increasing towards its apex point (the bearing’s axis). The inside diameter of each cone has different radii from one size to another, so that it fits into its respective outer ring smoothly without any gaps or interference between them.
