Submitted by: Muhammad

Bearing is a device that helps smoother movement with minimal friction which in turn helps enhances efficiency and speed. Considering two types of loading, radial and thrust, there are different types of bearings which help handle these loads. The basic difference in the types of loads is essentially due to their ability to handle weight and different kinds of loads for various applications. Different types of bearings are:

☛ Ball bearing
☛ Roller bearing
☛ Ball Thrust bearing
☛ Roller thrust bearing
☛ Tapered roller bearing
☛ Magnetic bearings
☛ Giant Roller Bearing
