The most common type is the deep-groove ball bearing, which is designed to accommodate predominantly radial forces. Because the bearings rest closely against relatively thick running grooves, this bearing can also accommodate minor axial forces.
The spherical roller bearing has two bearings rows. The bearing track of the outer ring has hollow ball form. The inner ring, cage and bearing allow for privating of a few angle grades from the centre position.
The Angular Contact ball Bearing can accommodate the axial forces of a bearing in one direction as well as radial forces. They are mostly assembled in pairs and pre-tensioned. Paired assembly can be carried out in the form of tandem, O or X designs.
The cylindrical roller bearing has a large radial bearing capacity. However, the axial direction has no or a very low stress tolerance. Rolling elements for cylindrical roller bearings are orbital cylinders.
