Various Types of Bearings Deep groove ball bearings
|  | | Most popular bearings, with balls inside. Capable of carrying radial loads as well as axial loads in both directions. Very precise, low-torque performance suitable for high-speed rotation. | | Angular contact ball bearings
|  | | Capable of carrying radial loads as well as axial loads in one direction. Commonly used in a pair, installed in opposite directions. Can carry greater axial loads than deep groove ball bearings. | | Cylindrical roller bearings
|  | | Suitable for heavy-load applications due to excellent radial-load-carrying capabilities. Superior performance of accommodating vibration and impact | | Tapered roller bearings
|  | | Highly capable of carrying radial loads as well as axial loads in one direction. Commonly used in a pair, installed in opposite directions | | Spherical roller bearings
|  | | Barrel-shaped rollers. Self-aligning capability to tolerate deflection or misalignment of the shaft or housing | | Needle roller bearings
|  | | Excellent load-carrying performance despite small cross section compared with ball bearings. Lightweight and compact. Useful in downsizing equipment. |
