TYPES OF BEARINGS
1. Plain Bearings
2. Ball Bearings

3. Roller Bearings
4. Fluid Bearings
5. Magnetic Bearings
6. Flexure Bearing
PLAIN BEARINGS:
2
4. It can handle oscillating or reciprocating movements.
BALL BEARINGS:
The load is transmitted from the outer race to the ball and
from the ball to the inner race in a ball bearing and it only
contacts the inner and outer race at a very small point which
helps it spin very smoothly since the ball is a sphere. But the
balls can deform or squish, ruining the bearing if the bearing
is overloaded.

1. With a higher dripping point, the bearing uses grease.
2. To prevent leaking of lubricants, these are a better
sealing shield.
3. It has easy bearing replacement and increases motor
performance.
4. It has a cheaper cost for replacement and in the
market, these are easily available.
ROLLER BEARINGS:
4
FLUID BEARINGS:
They contain liquid and the fluid creates a thin layer to which
the moving part is exposed which allows it to bear the load
and most fluid bearings contain water or oil and in reducing
friction both are effective.

MAGNETIC BEARINGS:

4. It provides precise control of the nominal shaft center
under load due to high static stiffness.
