Bearing nomenclature

🔷Straight or cylindrical roller bearings can be found in applications like conveyor-belt rollers,which are required to hold heavy radial loads.

🔶 Ball bearings, also known as Conrad bearings, are typically used in small load applications.

🔷Tapered roller bearings are designed to withstand a radial and thrust load, and can be found in car hubs due to the amount of radial and thrust loads they can carry.

🔶Needle roller bearings are used in designs that have heavy space restrictions.

🔷Ball-thrust bearings are designed to handle almost exclusively thrust loads in low-speed, low- weight applications. An example of its use would be in bar stools where they are used to support the seat.

🔶 Spherical roller bearings are used in car hubs and can support large radial and thrust loads.
