Angular contact ball bearings Capable of carrying radial loads as well as axial loads in one direction. Commonly used in a pair, installed in opposite directions. Can carry greater axial loads than deep groove ball bearings. Cylindrical roller bearings Suitable for heavy-load applications due to excellent radial-load-carrying capabilities. Superior performance of accommodating vibration and impact Deep groove ball bearings.gif Most popular bearings, with balls inside. Capable of carrying radial loads as well as axial loads in both directions. Very precise, low-torque performance suitable for high-speed rotation Tapered roller bearings Highly capable of carrying radial loads as well as axial loads in one direction. Commonly used in a pair, installed in opposite directions Needle roller bearings Excellent load-carrying performance despite small cross section compared with ball bearings. Lightweight and compact. Useful in downsizing equipment. Spherical roller bearings
