How bearings work?

Jan 04, 2020

Bearings make it possible for many of the machines we use every day. If there is no bearing, we will constantly replace the parts worn due to friction. In this article, we will learn how bearings work, look at some of the different types of bearings and explain their common uses, as well as explore some of the other interesting uses of bearings.

The concept behind bearings is simple: rolling is better than sliding. The wheels on your car are like big bearings. If you have skis instead of wheels and things like that, it's hard for your car to drive on the road. This is because when objects slide, the friction between them creates a force that tends to slow them down. But if the two surfaces can roll with each other, the friction will be greatly reduced

Bearings usually handle two types of loads, radial and thrust. Depending on where the bearing is used, you can see all radial loads, all thrust loads, or a combination of both.



The bearing of the motor and the pulley in the figure above are only facing the radial load. In this case, most of the load comes from the belt tension connecting the two pulleys.



The above bearing is like one on a stool. Its load is purely thrust, and the whole load comes from the weight of the person sitting on the stool.



The bearings in a car wheel are subject to both thrust and radial loads.

The bearings on the wheels bear thrust and radial loads. The upper bearing is like the one on the hub of a car. This bearing must bear both radial and thrust loads. The radial load comes from the weight of the car, and the thrust load comes from the turning force when turning.
