Radial bearings - What are radial bearings?

A radial bearings are a rolling bearing that withstands radial loads.

  • Question: What is a radial bearing used for?
    • Answer: Radial bearings are used in applications where forces act perpendicular to the axis, to carry radial loads, such as in wheels or shafts.

  • Question: What types of radial bearings are there?
    • Answer: There are various types of radial bearings, including deep groove ball bearings and cylindrical roller bearings, depending on the specific requirements of the application.
    • Example article: Category of deep groove ball bearings

  • Question: How is a radial bearing mounted?
    • Answer: Radial bearings are typically pressed into bores, or shafts are pressed into the rolling bearing. Additionally, careful alignment of the rolling bearings to each other must be ensured to ensure efficient function and a longer lifespan.
