Questions and Answers

What is the main purpose of bearings in machinery?

To prevent direct metal-to-metal contact and reduce friction (correct)

To restrict degrees of freedom in a system

To handle both radial and thrust loads

To allow axis deflection to correct misalignment

What type of loads can angular contact ball bearings withstand?

Unidirectional axial loads

Thrust loads only

Radial loads only

High radial-axial loads and high speeds (correct)

Why are roller bearings widely used?

Because they are mounted in preloaded units with rigid or elastic spacers

Because they handle both radial and thrust loads

Because they can only handle a small amount of weight

Study Notes

Bearings in Machinery

The main purpose of bearings in machinery is to reduce friction and allow for smooth motion between moving parts.

Types of Bearings and Loads

Angular contact ball bearings can withstand both radial and thrust loads, making them suitable for applications where high precision and speed are required.

Widely Used Bearings

Roller bearings are widely used due to their ability to handle heavy radial loads and axial loads, making them suitable for a variety of industrial applications.

Unique Characteristics of Bearings

Self-aligning ball bearings are distinguished from other types of bearings by their ability to compensate for misalignments and shaft deflections, allowing for greater flexibility and reliability.

Commonality of Ball Bearings

Ball bearings are extremely common due to their versatility, low maintenance, and ability to operate at high speeds, making them a widely used solution for many industrial and commercial applications.
