Roller bearings are used to carry loads. This type of bearing consists of rolling elements placed between two concentric grooved rings called raceways. This configuration is used to evenly distribute the load. This type of bearing has several benefits. They are extremely durable, provide precise alignment and can be used in a variety of applications.

Needle Roller Bearings

Needle roller bearings are tiny balls with rollers that spin quickly and are commonly found in compact mechanisms such as gearboxes and automotive driveshafts. They are also found in home appliances, robotics and aircraft controls. Needle roller bearings are very energy efficient and are widely used in many industries.

Needle roller bearings are compact and extremely durable. They can withstand high speeds and are lubricated with oil or grease. However, regular maintenance may be required. Some needle bearings have retainers that help prevent friction between the needles. They also offer high load carrying capacity.

Needle roller bearings are one of the smallest types of roller bearings and they are often used in applications where space is limited. Therefore, they are generally more compact than ball bearings. Their low cross-section and high aspect ratio make them ideal for applications where radial space is limited.

Plain bearing

Plain bearings are designed to minimize maintenance costs while extending equipment life. They are used in almost all industrial applications. Some examples include runners and pivot points. They are also used in the drill shaft of the Curiosity rover. They are also available in self-lubricating types.

The advantages of plain bearings over other types of bearings include lower cost and lower energy consumption. They also offer higher load capacity and a larger contact area. Plus, they require less maintenance than their rolling counterparts and can accommodate misalignment or multidirectional movement. Some common applications include construction equipment, agricultural machinery and mining equipment.

In addition to their versatility, plain bearings come in a variety of shapes. Some are designed for rotary motion, while others are designed for linear motion. They are also self-aligning for axial movement.
