Rolling bearing Sliding bearing
Generally has inner and outer rings, in between which there are ball or roller rolling elements which support a rotating load by rolling.
Rotating load is supported by the surface, and makes direct sliding contact in some cases, or maintains sliding by film thickness using a fluid as a medium.

Dimensions of rolling bearings have been internationally standardized. The bearings are widely used because they are interchangeable, easy to get, and inexpensive.
Inner ring Outer ring Rolling element
Cross-sectional area is large due to intervention of rolling element.
Friction torque is extremely small during rotation at start-up.
Can be used by making internal clearance negative to provide rigidity as a bearing.
As a rule, lubricant is required. Using grease, etc., facilitates maintenance; is sensitive to dirt.
Can be used from high to low temperatures. Cooling effect can be expected, depending on lubricant.
Cross-sectional area is extremely small.
Friction torque is large at start-up, and may be small during rotation, depending on the conditions.
Used with clearance. Therefore, moves only the amount of the clearance.
Some types can be used without lubrication; generally speaking, are comparatively insensitive to dirt. Oil lubrication conditions require attention.
Generally speaking, there are high and low temperature limits.

Point contact Contact surface becomes elliptical when a load is received.
Line contact Contact surface generally becomes rectangular when a load is received.
Ball bearings Roller bearings
Balls make point contacts, so rolling resistance is slight, thus making it suitable for low torque, high-speed applications. Also has superior sound characteristics.

Characteristics
Load capacity
Load capacity is small, so loads can be received in both radial and axial directions with radial bearings.
Because axial contact is made, rotation torque is less than that of balls, and rigidity is high.
Load capacity is large. With cylindrical roller bearings with ribs, slight axial load can also be received. With tapered roller bearings, a combination of two bearings enables large axial load in both directions to be received.
Shielded type Sealed type Type and symbol Non-contact type ZZ Non-contact type LLB Contact type LLU Low torque type LLH
Construction ¡A metal shield is fastened to the outer ring, forming a labyrinth clearance with the V-groove of the inner ring seal surface.
¡A seal plate of synthetic rubber anchored to a steel plate is fastened to the outer ring, and the edge of the seal forms a labyrinth clearance along the V-groove of the inner ring seal surface.
¡Basic construction is the same as the LU type, except the lip of the seal edge is specially designed with a slit to prevent absorption, forming a low-torque seal.
¡A seal plate of synthetic rubber anchored to a steel plate is fastened to the outer ring, and the edge of the seal makes contact with the side of the V-groove of the inner ring seal surface.

Back-to-back duplex (DB)
¡Able to receive radial load and axial load in one direction. ¡Receives axial load in tandem. Is consequently able to receive a large axial load.
Tandem duplex bearing (DT)
Face-to-face duplex bearing (DF)
Remarks 1. Bearings are made in sets in order to adjust preload and internal clearance of the bearing, so a combination of bearings having the same product number must be used.

GS/WS type bearing washer
AS type bearing washer
AXK type
Has balls retained by a cage between the shaft washer (equivalent of inner ring) and housing washer (equivalent of outer ring), and is capable of receiving an axial load in one direction only.
Some bearing washers use precut bearing washers, and some use bearing washers of pressed steel plate. Pressed bearing washers are used for bearings with the smallest cross-section height and large load capacity.
The most common type uses a single row of cylindrical rollers, but some use two or three rows for larger load capacity.
The raceway surface of the housing washer (outer ring) has a spherical surface that lines up with the bearing axis, and uses barrel shaped rolling elements to facilitate alignment. Self-aligning thrust roller bearings are capable of bearing large axial loads. The bearings have many sliding surfaces such as roller end faces and cages, and therefore requires lubricating oil even at low speeds.
