Common Types of Bearings and Their Applications

Deep Groove Ball Bearings: Primarily used to bear radial loads and can also withstand certain axial loads. Widely used in automobiles, tractors, machine tools, electric motors, water pumps, agricultural machinery, textile machinery, etc.

Self-Aligning Ball Bearings: Have the ability to self-align and are suitable for various installation errors. Mainly used in woodworking machinery, textile machinery transmission shafts, vertical pedestal self-aligning bearings, etc.

Cylindrical Roller Bearings: Suitable for high-speed, heavy-duty applications, such as high-speed motors and machine tool spindles.

Tapered Roller Bearings: Can withstand large radial and axial loads, often used in heavy-duty machinery and mining machinery.

Thrust Ball Bearings: Primarily used to bear unidirectional axial loads, such as in rolling mills and compressors.

Angular Contact Ball Bearings: Can simultaneously bear radial and axial loads, often used in high-precision, high-speed machinery, such as machine tool spindles and high-frequency motors.

Self-Aligning Roller Bearings: Can automatically adjust for shaft or housing deflection or misalignment and can bear radial loads and bidirectional axial loads. Widely used in paper machinery, reduction gears, railway vehicle axles, etc.
