Bearings:

Bearings are primarily a load carrying member either with point contact or with line contact.

Classification:

   Based on Friction:

               ·    Friction Bearing

             ·    Anti-Friction Bearing

                                                            Ball Bearing

                                                            Roller Bearing

                                                            Needle Bearing

Based on type of Friction:

                ·    Sliding Friction

          ·    Rolling Friction

Based on Action of Fluid film   (Lubrication):

                ·    Hydro Static

          ·    Hydro Dynamic

Based on Load:

                ·    Axial Load

         ·    Radial Load

         ·    Combined Load
