Ball Bearing Rollers

Ball Bearing Rollers For Long Life Span Of Machines


Mechanical engineering works on certain basic principle i.e. to ensure that there should be an element in machine that can limit relative motion to desired level of motion. At the same time, such element should reduce any friction among the moving part to ensure smooth motion. This important component is known as bearing. As per the operation type, allowed level of motion, load carrying capacity etc. bearings are classed into different types.

Allows rotation with less friction enhance operation

A type called as Spherical Roller Thrust is bearing with rolling element that allows rotation with low friction and also allows for angular misalignment. The designing provides provision to handle heavy axial and radial loads usually found in in single direction. Normally, this bearing type support the rotating shaft inside shaft washer bore. As the bearing design is not ISO standardised, there is variation w.r.t. different manufacturers as per different bearing series. Instead the manufacturers follow certain basic design parameter as listed:

  • Shape and dimension of the Roller
  • Design of Flange
  • Placement of Non rotational notch within house washer


Among all ranges of thrust bearing, the spherical roller type thrust bearings has highest degree of load density rating.

A key component for automobile sector

Do you know, the automobile sector has high demand for bearing manufacture. Off late we see that daily new models and vehicle types are launched, and thus it has enhanced demand for bearing. Also, the increase of sale in automobile sector has also certainly the bearing market. In a vehicle, bearing component plays very important role by handling the heavy load, vehicle performance, reducing friction caused by the movement.

In a vehicle, baring is used in gearboxes, engines, steering, wheels, transmissions, electric motors and pumps.  In the market there are many bearing manufacturers who provide huge range and variety of bearings for industrial purpose.  

Let’s have a look at prime three type of bearing being used in automobile industry:

  • Ball Bearing: this helps to allow change in speed as it supports both axial and radial load.
  • Plain Bearing: With the ability of bearing heavy load as well large carrying capacity, this bearing is also preferred. In addition, this type of bearing is less expensive.
  • Thrust Bearing: quite commonly used in aerospace and automotive application, this bearing like supports axial load as well as it allows rotation in between 2 parts.

You can easily raise your query regarding any particular bearing like ball bearing rollers on the online platform, and can get details of leading manufactures or suppliers. The detailed design with specification, make and material type is provided for the benefit of the customer and for selecting the best product.
