The performance of a machine to a great extent depends on a bearing design. When it comes to bearings, there are two common types, such as roller bearings and ball bearings. Though both of them are used to handle loads while reducing friction, there are some differences that make them stand apart. One of the primary differences is the rolling elements, where cylindrical-shaped ones are used in roller bearings, while balls are used in ball bearings.
The barrel-shaped rolling elements help transmit loads and keep the moving parts of the roller bearings separate. These rollers are found in single or multiple rows to considerably enhance the radial load capacity. Their different shapes further assist in minimizing friction and handling both axial and radial loads.
