Standardized bearings come in several types to handle different load capacities and requirements. The single-row deep-groove bearing supports radial and some thrust loads using balls placed in grooves. Notches can increase ball capacity but decrease thrust capacity. Angular-contact bearings provide greater thrust capacity. Bearings are available with shields and seals of various types for protection and lubrication. Double-row and self-aligning bearings can support heavier loads and misalignment. Roller bearings also exist in different styles like straight and helical to handle radial loads and misalignment respectively.

Some of the various types of standardized bearings that are
manufactured are shown in Fig. 11–2. The single-row deep-groove bearing will take radial load as well as some thrust load. The balls are inserted into the grooves by moving the inner ring to an eccentric position. The balls are separated after loading, and the separator is then inserted. The use of a filling notch (Fig. 11–2b) in the inner and outer rings enables a greater number of balls to be inserted, thus increasing the load capacity. The thrust capacity is decreased, however, because of the bumping of the balls against the edge of the notch when thrust loads are present. The angular-contact bearing (Fig. 11–2c) provides a greater thrust capacity. All these bearings may be obtained with shields on one or both sides. The shields are not a complete closure but do offer a measure of protection against dirt. A variety of bearings are manufactured with seals on one or both sides. When the seals are on both sides, the bearings are lubricated at the factory. Although a sealed bearing is supposed to be lubricated for life, a method of relubrication is sometimes provided. Single-row bearings will withstand a small amount of shaft misalignment of deflection, but where this is severe, self- aligning bearings may be used. Double-row bearings are made in a variety of types and sizes to carry heavier radial and thrust loads. Sometimes two single-row bearings are used together for the same reason, although a double-row bearing will generally require fewer parts and occupy less space. The one way ball thrust bearings (Fig. 11–2i) are made in many types and sizes. Some of the large variety of standard roller bearings available are illustrated in Fig. 11–3. Straight roller bearings (Fig. 11–3a) will carry a greater radial load than ball bearings of the same size because of the greater contact area. However, they have the disadvantage of requiring almost perfect geometry of the raceways and rollers. A slight misalignment will cause the rollers to skew and get out of line. For this reason, the retainer must be heavy. Straight roller bearings will not, of course, take thrust loads. Helical rollers are made by winding rectangular material into rollers, after which they are hardened and ground. Because of the inherent flexibility, they will take considerable misalignment. If necessary, the shaft and housing can be used for raceways instead of separate inner and outer races. This is especially important if radial space limited.
