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.
