Are ball bearings rolling bearings? Yes, ball bearings are also a type of rolling bearings. There are many types of rolling bearings, and many people don't know them very well. The following editor will introduce the classification of rolling bearings in detail.
First of all, rolling bearings can be divided into radial bearings and thrust bearings according to the load direction or contact angle they can bear. Radial bearings are mainly rolling bearings used to bear radial loads, while thrust bearings are mainly rolling bearings used to bear axial loads.
According to its rolling elements, bearings can be divided into ball bearings and roller bearings. Ball bearings are rolling elements that are balls. In roller bearings, the rolling elements are rollers. If the roller bearings are classified according to the rollers, they can be subdivided into cylindrical roller bearings, needle roller bearings, tapered roller bearings and spherical roller bearings.
Bearings are divided into self-aligning bearings and non-aligning bearings according to whether they can be self-aligning during work. The raceway of the self-aligning bearing is mainly spherical, which can adapt to the angular deviation and angular motion between the axis lines of the two raceways. For non-aligning bearings, it is a bearing that can resist the offset of the axis line angle between the raceways.
