The mechanical bearing is utilized between 2 parts that enable linear or rotational movement. Moreover, it enhances performance and saves energy. There are diverse types of bearings readily available in the market. Each type is utilized for a particular purpose.

We also have the Spherical roller bearings for axial loads. The structure of the spherical roller bearings for axial loads is similar to that of the spherical roller bearings for radial loads, but they use only one row of rolling elements. Due to the spherical shape of the raceways, they can withstand large axial loads and correct misalignments.

The needle roller bearings are very compact rolling elements designed to withstand high radial loads. They are designed in such a way that their rolling elements are fine rollers (needles), instead of being balls. Hence, it is able to support high load capacities on all its surface. When it is a ball (conventional bearing), the point of contact is one in each track (inside and outside), while in the hands it is in all its length.
