Bearings are used to provide smooth flow between surfaces. Bearings allow a low-friction movement between two surfaces. The movement of bearings can be liner or rotary and most bearings are lubricated by oil for for smooth flow. We see the utilization of bears in our day-to-day activities like in drawers or in lifts and even in heavy equipments, tools and of course various industries.

Bearings by Application.
Bearings Application GuidelinesDifferent bearings are used depending on their application areas, their load capacity, their movement and friction. For instance:
- Ball bearings are the less expensive for lighter loads and smaller sizes, while roller bearings are less expensive for larger sizes and heavier loads.
- Roller bearings are preferred for shock or impact loading.
- Ball-thrust bearings are for thrust loading only.
- Deep-groove or angular-contact ball bearing for high speeds.
- Self-aligning ball bearings and cylindrical roller bearings with
low friction coefficients.
Speed Requirements in BearingsSpeed requirements are important factors for proper
bearing application design. Useable speeds are influenced by bearing size,
properties, lubrication and operating temperatures. The permissible speed
varies inversely with mean bearing diameter. Moreover bearings are generally
used for applications that have no impact or shock. Bushings are used for
applications that feature more shock
