Rolling bearings are generally composed of inner and outer rings and rolling elements like balls or rollers. They are classified as radial or thrust bearings depending on the load direction, and as ball or roller bearings depending on the rolling element type. Ball bearings include deep groove, angular contact, self-aligning and thrust types. Roller bearings include cylindrical, tapered, spherical, and needle types. Needle roller bearings can be full complement or caged types for radial or axial loads.

A rolling bearing is generally composed of an inner ring, an outer ring, a set of rolling elements and a cage. Bearings are generally classified into radial bearings and thrust bearings depending on direction of load. In addition, they can also be classified into ball bearings and roller bearings depending on the type of rolling elements and then further segregated by their different designs or specific purpose. The following tables show the various classifications and corresponding series codes.
