ball bearings are designed to produce minimal noise and run seamlessly. More importantly, they are suitable for high-speed applications.
However, these bearings are available in single-direction or double-direction bearings, and the choice depends on whether the load is in one or both directions.
The following are the main operating conditions where ball bearings may be required:
1. Ball bearings are an ideal choice when thrust loads are present. The bearings are designed to resist axial loads.
2. Thrust ball bearings have high speeds due to the small contact points and low friction. Therefore, the bearing has less resistance to overcome.
3. Since the rolling elements of the bearing are spherical, all forces are concentrated on a limited number of contact points. Therefore, early failure is inevitable under high or heavy loads.
