Storage techniques

Ball bearings are mechanical components that are used to reduce friction between moving parts and enable smooth rotation or linear motion. They consist of a series of balls enclosed in a ring race between two rings.

Roller bearings are designed similarly to ball bearings, but use cylindrical rollers instead of balls to carry the load.

Needle roller bearings are special ball bearings that use thin-walled needles as roller elements. They are characterized by their high load carrying capacity in a limited installation space and are often used in applications with high radial loads.

Spherical plain bearings, also known as plain bearings or bush bearings, are bearings that enable movement along an axis. They consist of an inner and an outer ring with a sliding element between them. These bearings are often used in applications that are subject to vibrations or shock loads and offer a reliable and low-maintenance solution.

Deep groove ball bearings are a special type of ball bearing characterized by their deep groove structure in the inner and outer ring. This design enables an even distribution of loads and a high speed.

Self-aligning ball bearings are ball bearings with a spherical outer ring, which gives them a self-aligning capability. These bearings can compensate for angular deviations and misalignments and are therefore often used in applications with high vibration or alignment requirements.

Axial ball bearings are specially designed to support axial loads and consist of balls that run between two rings, with the load being supported in the axial direction. These bearings are used in applications where high axial forces occur.

Linear ball bearings are ball bearings that are specially designed for linear movements. They consist of an inner and an outer ring with a series of balls running between them. These bearings provide low-friction and precise linear motion.
