1.1 Sliding Friction and Rolling Friction

As shown in Fig. 1.1 , the amount of force it

takes to move an object of the same weight

varies largely between the cases where the

object is laid directly on the ground and

pulled, and where the object is laid on rollers

and pulled. This is because the coefficient of

friction ( ) varies largely for these two cases.

The force it takes to bring the object to the

verge of moving can be calculated as F =

W , but the value of the coefficient of friction

of a rolling bearing is a minute value of less

than 1/100 that of a sliding bearing. The

coefficient of friction of a rolling bearing is

generally = 0.001 to 0.005.

1.2 Sliding Bearings and Rolling Bearings

There are various forms of each type of

bearing, each having its own particular

characteristics. If you compare the two, the

general characteristics are as follows.

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.

2.2 Classification of Rolling Bearings

Rolling bearings are generally classified as

shown in Fig. 2.2. In addition to these, there

are bearings of various other shapes.

For more information, see the various NTN

catalogs. For terminology used for the parts of

typical bearings, see Fig. 2..

¡ Ball bearings and roller bearings

¡ Deep Groove Ball Bearings

Widely used in a variety of fields, deep

groove ball bearings are the most common

type of bearing. Deep groove ball bearings

may include seals or shields as shown in

Table 2. 2.

Deep groove ball bearings also include

bearings with snap rings for positioning when

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.

adjustment bearings which absorb dimension

variation of the bearing fitting surface caused

by temperature of the housing; and other

various types of bearings such as TAB

bearings which can withstand dirt in the

lubrication oil.

¡ Angular Contact Ball Bearings

The straight line that connects the inner

ring, ball and outer ring runs at an angle

(contact angle) to the radial direction. The

angle is basically designed for three types of

contact angle.

Angular contact ball bearings can bear an

axial load. Since they however posses a

contact angle, they cannot be used by

themselves, but must rather be used in pairs

or in combination. There is also a series that

reconsiders internal design for high speed.

For more

information, see

the catalog. (^) ☞

There are double row angular contact ball

bearings that contain the inner and outer rings

all in one, instead of duplex bearings, and

have 30˚C contact angle.

Another bearing is the four-point contact ball

bearing which can receive an axial load in

both directions. Problems of temperature rise

and friction however may occur depending

upon load conditions.

See page B-2 of the "Ball and Roller Bearings" catalog.

¡ Tapered Roller Bearings

The tapered vertex of the rollers and

raceway surface of the outer and inner rings is

designed to intersect a point on the centerline

of the bearing. The rollers therefore are

guided along the raceway surface by being

pushed against the inner ring rib by synthetic

power received from the outer and inner ring

raceway surfaces.

Because component force is produced in

the axial direction when a radial load is

received, the bearings must be used in pairs.

The outer and inner rings with rollers come

apart, thus facilitating mounting with clearance

and preload. It is however difficult to control

the clearance. Tapered roller bearings are

capable of receiving both large radial and

axial loads.

NTN bearings with 4T-, ET-, T- and U

conform to ISO and JIS sub-unit dimensions

standards (contact angle, outer ring groove

small diameter, outer ring width), and have

international compatibility.

NTN offers bearings made of carburizing

steel to extend life, such as ETA- and ET-

bearings. We also have double row tapered

roller bearings that combine two bearings, and

heavy-duty four row tapered roller bearings.

¡ Self-Aligning Roller Bearings

Having an outer ring with a spherical

raceway surface and an inner ring with a

double row of barrel-shaped rolling elements,

self-aligning roller bearings enable alignment

of shaft inclination.

Types of self-aligning roller bearings differ

according to internal design.

Some have a tapered inner ring bore to

facilitate mounting on the shaft by adapter or

withdrawal sleeve. The bearings are capable

of receiving large loads and are therefore

often used in industrial machinery. Single row

rollers however bear no load when axial load

becomes great, and are subject to various

other problems.

¡ Thrust Bearings

There are various types of thrust bearings

that differ according to application and shape

of rolling elements. Allowable speed is

generally low, and lubrication requires

attention.

Table 2.7 Types and Characteristics of Thrust Bearings

GS/WS type bearing washer

AS type bearing washer

AXK type

¡ Self-aligning thrust roller bearing

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.

¡ Bearing Unit

The unit that incorporates ball bearings

inside housings of various shapes and sizes.

The housing is mounted by bolting to the

machine, and the shaft is simply attached to

the inner ring by lockscrew. This means that

rotating equipment can be supported without

any sort of special design in the periphery of

the bearing. Standardized housing shapes

include pillow and flange types. The single

outside diameter of the bearing is spherical,

as is the bore diameter of the housing, to

facilitate alignment.

Lubrication is sealed inside the bearing by

grease; the double seal prevents dust from

getting inside.

For more information concerning shapes,

see the NTN catalog.

3.1 Selection Procedure

Rolling bearings include many types and

sizes. Selecting the best bearing is important

for getting the machine or equipment to

function in the way it's supposed to. There are

various selection procedures, but the most

common are shown in the following figure.

3.3 Bearing Arrangement

Shafts are generally supported by two

bearings in the radial and axial directions. The

side that fixes relative movement of the shaft

and housing in the axial direction is called the

"fixed side bearing," and the side that allows

movement is called the "floating side bearing."

The floating side bearing is needed to absorb

mounting error and avoid stress caused by

expansion and contraction of the shaft due to

temperature change. In the case of bearings

with detachable inner and outer rings such as

cylindrical and needle roller bearings, this is

accomplished by the raceway surface. Bearings

with non-detachable inner and outer rings, such

as deep groove ball bearings and self-aligning

roller bearings, are designed so that the fitting

surface moves in the axial direction.

If bearing clearance is short, the bearings can

be used without differentiating between the

fixed and floating sides. In this case, the method

of having the bearings face each other, such as

with angular contact ball bearings and tapered

roller bearings, is frequently used.

4.1 Main Dimensions

As shown in Figs. 4.1 - 4.3 , main

dimensions of rolling bearings include bearing

bore diameter, single outside diameter,

width/height, and chamfer. These dimensions

must be known when mounting on the shaft

and housing.

The main dimensions have been

standardized by the International Standards

Organization (ISO), and the Japanese

International Standard (JIS) is used in Japan.

The standard range of dimensions for single

bore metric rolling bearings has been

established as 0.6 - 2500 mm. For single

bore, a code is used to express diameter

series and width series, which indicate the

size of the bearing cross-section.
