How are bearings classified?
Depending upon the direction of load to be supported, the bearings can be classified as Radial and Thrust bearings. In radial bearings, the load acts perpendicular to the direction of motion of the moving element. In thrust bearings, the load acts along the axis of rotation. Depending upon the nature of contact, the bearings can be classified as sliding contact and rolling contact bearings. In sliding contact bearings, the sliding takes place along the surfaces of contact between the moving element and the fixed element. The sliding contact bearings are also known as plain bearings. In rolling contact bearings, the steel balls or rollers, are interposed between the moving and fixed elements. The balls offer rolling friction at two points for each ball or roller.
How to Calculate Angular Length of Bearing given Length of Bearing in Direction of Motion?
Angular Length of Bearing given Length of Bearing in Direction of Motion calculator uses Angular or Circumferential Length of Bearing = (2*Length of Bearing in Direction of Motion)/(Shaft Diameter) to calculate the Angular or Circumferential Length of Bearing, Angular Length of Bearing given Length of Bearing in Direction of Motion formula is defined as a measure of the angular distance of a bearing in the direction of motion, which is essential in tribology to understand the movement and friction of surfaces in contact. Angular or Circumferential Length of Bearing is denoted by β symbol.
