Types of Bearings

Rolling bearings: Rolling bearings are a widely used support component in machinery, primarily used to connect the shaft and the housing and to bear loads According to their structure and size, rolling bearings can be divided into various types, such as deep groove ball bearings, self-aligning ball bearings, and cylindrical roller bearings.

Sliding bearings: Sliding bearings are mainly used to bear radial loads and smaller axial loads, and are typically used in low-speed, light-load, or well-lubricated operating conditions. The types of sliding bearings include radial slider bearings, thrust slider bearings, and journal bearings, among others.

Spherical bearings: Spherical bearings are a special type of bearing that are primarily used to withstand angular motion and radial loads. The structural characteristic of a joint bearing is that it has one or more rotating rings to accommodate different installation angles and usage requirements.

Electromagnetic bearings: Electromagnetic bearings are a type of bearing that uses magnetic field forces to support the shaft, typically used in high-speed, high-precision applications. The advantages of electromagnetic bearings are that they can operate without friction, require no lubrication, and require no maintenance, but the disadvantages are that the equipment is complex and the cost is relatively high.

Combination Bearings: Combination bearings are a type of bearing that combines two or more types of bearings, designed to leverage the advantages of each type and meet the needs of specific application scenarios.
