Bearings are one of the most used machine parts because their rolling motion facilitates practically all movements and reduces friction. Bearings have two purposes: they transfer motion, i.e., they support and guide rotating components, and they also transmit forces. Now let's look at the wide range of bearings available to shop online in the UK.

1. Angular Contact Bearings

Because of the internal construction of the bearing, angular contact ball bearings can sustain large radial and axial loads and function at high speeds. They are asymmetrical and can only bear unidirectional axial stresses.

2. Cylindrical Roller Bearings

In heavy-duty applications, the bearings can withstand high radial loads and quick speeds. These bearings feature high stiffness, low friction, and a long life expectancy as long as the inner and outer rings have flanges. The most notable design differences between the two versions are the number of roller rows and inner/outer ring flanges, as well as cage designs and materials, and the sealed and split configurations.

3. Cylindrical Roller Thrust Bearings

Cylindrical roller thrust bearings are made to handle heavy axial loads and shock loads. The rollers' ends are gently eased to change the line contact between the raceways and the rollers. This reduces stress peaks at the roller ends, allowing the bearing to last longer.

4. Deep Groove Ball Bearings

Because of its low friction and specialization for low noise and vibration, they can rotate at high speeds. They can withstand radial and axial strains in both directions and are easier to install and maintain than other types of bearings.

5. Glacier Split Bearing Bushes

Glacier DU-type bushes are a dry-bearing material that performs well in terms of wear and friction across a wide range of temperatures, loads, and speeds. Glacier bushes do not require lubrication, resulting in reduced wear and a high load capacity. They can also operate at a wide range of temperatures, from -200°C to 280°C.

6. Lazy Suzan Bearings

When only one lazy susan bearing is used, all of the force is confined to a single spot (F1). This might cause damage to the balls that allow rotation to take place. The force is more consistently distributed (F1 and F2) with the installation of a second bearing, and the bearing is not affected as a result of the weight distribution imbalance.

7. Magento Bearings

These bearings are particularly well suited for use because of two characteristics: low load and high speed. They're commonly arranged in pairs, with their open sides facing each other. Cages composed of fiber-glass reinforced polyamide 66 and cages built of a brass plate are both available for magneto bearings.
