Bearing Manufacturer Mumbai | Grease Suppliers | Adarsh Bearings

Our world relies heavily on different types of machines with moving parts, all of which would stop without bushings and bearings. The primary function of bushings and bearings is to reduce the friction created when two moving components interact, thereby reducing the energy required to set them in motion and limiting component wear.

Both bushings and bearings offer solutions to reduce friction and limit component wear, but each is good to use in different environmental and operating conditions. Choosing the right one for these conditions requires understanding the difference between the two, their pros and cons, and the typical applications they are used for.

Main Types of Bearing and Bushing

Ball bearings

Ceramic or steel balls are inserted between the inner and outer ring to produce the classic ball bearing. These are designed to support rotating shafts while reducing friction between static and moving parts.

Adarsh Ball Bearings support rotating shafts while reducing breakage between them and static components. The balls (often steel balls, but sometimes ceramic balls that work at high temperatures) are placed between an inner ring and an outer ring. The bearing arrangement can be single row or multiple row depending on the application.

Roller bearing

Roller bearings can carry heavier loads than ball bearings. They are cylindrical or conical in shape and are placed between the inner and outer races. Its function is to minimize the friction between the moving axes and the static components.

Cylindrical roller bearings are usually made up of stainless steel and are designed for high radial loads. They are ideal for high-speed applications as their low-friction design generates no heat or noise.You can find cylindrical roller bearings in gearboxes, electric motors and pumps in a variety of industries including automotive, mining and construction.

Use spherical roller bearings for lower speed applications. These self-aligning bearings can handle severe misalignment, vibration and sudden shock, and when fitted in a double row, can carry extremely high radial and axial loads. Thrust roller bearings have similar misalignment management properties.
