Indian Institute for Production Management
BEARING
Bearing is a system of machine
elements whose function is to support
an applied load by reducing friction
between the relatively moving surfaces.

Deep Grove Ball Bearing

High degree of conformity between balls and
races enabling high axial loads.
Not capable of taking misalignment
Most commonly used bearing
Available in single & double row for
Better load distribution
This bearing with normal clearance is not
available
Deep Groove Ball

Bearing with one or
for
two
shields
shaft diameters from
3 to 120 mm. High
sealing effect, low
friction,
prelubricated for high
velocities, low noise,
high
temperature
range 30 to +120
degree Centigrade.
Deep Groove Ball

Bearing with Snap
ring groove in outer
ring
for
shaft
diameters from 10 to
100 mm.
A slit ring can be
snapped into the
groove to simplify
the axial location of
the bearing in the
housing.
Deep
Groove
Ball
Bearing with one or
two seals for
shaft
diameters from 6 to 30
mm.
High
sealing
effect,
also
from
splashes of water and
oil.
High
stability,
water resistant. High
temperature range 30
to
+120
degree

free
operation.
Deep
Groove
Ball
Bearing with shields or
seals must never be
washed.
Double
row
Deep
Groove Ball Bearing
with filling slots for
shaft diameters from
10 to 75 mm.
APPLICATION ALTERNATIVES.
If a Double row Deep Groove Ball
Bearing with normal clearance is not
available, a bearing with C 3 clearance
can be used.(Proposed)
If a Deep groove ball bearing with
pressed steel cage is not available, a
bearing with plastic machined cage can
be used. (Proposed)
Self Aligning Ball Bearing

Imparts self aligning property of shaft with
respect to housing
SA Ball Brg With Extended Inner

Ring
Capability of taking misalignment is maximum

Axial load bearing capacity is relatively low as
compared to deep groove ball bearings
Bearings are available both with cylindrical &
tapered bore
Self aligning ball bearing

SELF ALIGNING BALL BEARINGS
with two seals are supplied with
correct quantity of Lithium based
Grease.
Re-lubrication in service is not
required and the bearings should
not be washed or heated before
mounting. Available for shaft
diameters from 10 60 mm.
Angular Contact Ball Bearing

SELF ALIGNING BALL BEARINGS
with Tapered bore and adapter
sleeve are available with or
without seals, because of the
adapter sleeve, it is possible to
use drawn shafts.
Available without seals for shaft
diameters from 20 100 mm. and
with seals for shaft diameters from
20 50 mm.

Have the highest load bearing capacity
in both direction among all ball bearings
Contact angle plays the most important
role in deciding load bearing capacity
Axial load can be borne in only one
direction (right to left)
Bearings are used in tandem & usually
back to back and face to face to take up
loads in both directions.

When outer race is rotating, DF type fitting &
when shaft is rotating, DB type fitting is preferred
Outer race is fixed,by tightening inner race,
clearance can be reduced
The externally converging type resists
misaligning forces,and internally converging type
accepts misalignment
Used in lathe m/c,grinding & boring m/c,NC-CNC
m/c gear boxes,car wheels etc.

Cylindrical Roller Bearing
Cylindrical Roller Bearing
Radial load
Radial&Axial
Load simultaneously
Basically designed to take only radial load, and

no axial load.
Very low capability to account for misalignment.
Changes in length can be accommodated as
number of options are available.
Rollers are guided between integral flanges on
one of the bearing rings
Heat developed during operation is very high.
Used in transmission,rail vehicle,rolling mills etc.
Axial Load
NU bearings permits Axial

displacement of the housing
relating to the shaft within
certain
limits
in
both
directions and are therefore
used
as
Non-locating
Bearings.
(Axial
compensation)
NJ bearings can be used for

SU BEARING which are

relatively new were also
developed by SKF, can
absorb high axial loads due
to the Spheres roller front
and the tapered flanges.
Full Compartment Cylindrical Roller Bearings have
extremely high load carrying capacity and permit
space saving designs. The absence of a cage results
in reduced speed capacity compared to conventional
cage type Cylindrical Roller Bearings.

Taper Roller Bearing
Cutaway view of a radial tapered

roller bearing

Optimized rolling conditions to accommodate
combined loads.
Contact angle specifies the load carrying
capacity (higher contact angle can support
higher axial load)
Normally mounted in pairs on the shaft to
oppose each others thrust
Used in trucks propeller shaft,in rolling
mills,wheel bearing passenger cars,differentials
etc.

Taper Roller Back To Back
Face To Face

Single row taper
roller bearing are
available, both in
metric and inch
series for shaft
diameters from 15
280 mm.
20
Needle Roller Bearing

Multi row taper roller bearings
with two, four or six rows are
mainly
useful
in
heavy
engineering applications such
as Rolling mills. The bearings
are made to order.
Particulars : Single row taper roller bearings can carry axial loads in one
direction only.Since radial load on a taper roller bearing gives
rise to an induced axial load, which must be compensated,
these bearings therefore, generally are mounted against a
second bearing - often another taper roller bearing.
Needle Roller Bearing

Ability To Counter Shock Loads and Impact
Loads in Service.
High Load Bearing Capacity.
Feature of Intricacy, Capable of Being
Accommodated in Small Radial Space
(Rollers Length To Diameter Ratio is More)
