Sealed bearings
Because bearings are very sensitive they have to be protected against contamination and spray water. Sealed bearings can be mounted to avoid using expensive seals between shafts and housings. gap seals (non-contact) Sealed bearings get a whole life lubrication during assembly. They are suitable for operating temperatures from -20 C to 120 C, limited by the grease and sealing ring and cage materials. Non-contact seals have a low friction. Contact lip seals (contact) seals do not loose lubricant during a stop.

Arrangement of bearings
A minimum of two bearings is needed to support and guide a rotating shaft. Depending on the application it has to be designed as a locatingnon-locating bearing, a preloaded bearing or a floating mounting. Locating-non-locating bearing:
Variations of bearing distance due to process tolerances and temperature differences are adjusted by the non-locating bearing. A non-locating bearing is movable within the bearing itself, in the fit in the housing or at the shaft. In contrast, a locating bearing can support thrust forces as it is completely fixed in the axial direction.
Preloaded bearing
Two reversed mounted angular contact bearings or tapered roller bearings. The axial clearance of the bearing can be set.
The floating mounting is an economical solution if a axial guide is unnecessary. The shaft can be axially moved.

Locating/non-locating bearing I
Knne: Einfhrung in die Maschinenelemente
This example shows the design of a locating and non-locating bearing combination which will be found rather frequently in practice. The shaft rotates while it is subjected to a stationary load deriving from the gear wheel. The force is introduced by the mating gear. This load situation leads to a rotation of the inner ring while the gear force is stationary. As the inner ring is thus subjected to a peripheral force, it is mounted on the shaft with a press fit. In contrast to the inner ring, the outer ring of the bearing is subjected to a lumped force and can therefore be mounted into the housing by means of a loose fit or a press fit. The bearing on the left side is designed as the locating bearing. The outer ring is fixed by a cap which is screwed to the housing, whereas the inner ring sits close to the shaft shoulder on the one side and is fixed by means of a distance bush on the other side. On the right hand side the bearing is designed as a non-locating bearing. The inner ring is fixed in the same way as the locating one. The outer ring can endure a certain movement as the outer ring is not fixed in the axial direction.

Locating/non-locating bearing II
Knne: Einfhrung in die Maschinenelemente
Due to the eccentric wheel, the force deriving from this device is a rotary one. This kind of shaft could for example be the driving device for a vibratory plate. As the external force (coming from the centrifugal force of the eccentric mass) rotates together with the shaft, the force on the also rotating inner ring is a lumped force. As the outer ring of the bearings is stationary, they are subjected to a peripherical force. Therefore the outer rings have to be mounted into the housing by using a press fit, whereas the combination of inner ring and shaft can optionally be realised by a press or a loose fit. Because of the load situation the inner ring of one of the bearings is designed as the non-locating part.
04.24
In this example the non-locating bearing is realised by means of a cylindrical roller bearing. The cylindrical roller bearing is capable of enduring higher radial loads than the ball bearing, but apart from this advantage this bearing arrangement can be compared with the first one.
04.25
Locating/non-locating bearing IV
Knne: Einfhrung in die Maschinenelemente
In this example the load situation cannot be defined clearly with regard to lumped or peripherical loads on the inner and outer ring. Because of the gear wheel and the eccentric wheel both load cases are possible. For this reason both the outer and the inner ring should be mounted on the shaft respectively into the housing by a press fit. Nevertheless one of the bearings has to be designed as a non-locating bearing. Therefore a cylindrical roller bearing is introduced, where the cylinder is not embedded in the inner ring and thus allows an axial movement.
04.26
Locating/non-locating bearing V
Knne: Einfhrung in die Maschinenelemente
The design of this bearing situation is supposed to endure high radial as well as thrust forces. The non-locating bearing is realised by means of a cylindrical roller bearing with a free inner ring. The locating bearing is designed as a combination of a ball bearing to endure the thrust forces and a cylindrical roller bearing to endure the radial forces. Because of this separation of the forces, the outer ring of the ball bearing has a radial clearance. As the cylindrical roller of the second bearing is not embedded into the inner ring, it will definitely not endre any thrust forces, thus realising a clear separation of the forces.

Locating/non-locating bearing VI
Knne: Einfhrung in die Maschinenelemente
In this case the bearing combination is designed by a pair of spherical roller bearings and plummer blocks for roller bearings on both sides. With this solution misalignements can be compensated. As the bearings are fixed on the shaft by means of clamping sleeves, it can be manufactured from a simple blanc semifinished product, which must not be further cutted. The driving device is also fixed on the shaft by means of a clamping sleeve. This way of fixation should only be realised if a precise axial alignement of the mounted elements is not required. This would for example be the case for the design of an axle of a simple railway vehicle, whereas this kind of fixation (by means of clamping sleeves) would not be reasonable for a gear system.

Force: very high axial forces acc. to the lifting mass and the dead load of the crane, very high radial forces as well due to the overturning moment of the above mentioned forces Design: A combination of a locating bearing system of a radial spherical roller bearing and a spherical roller thrust bearing. With regard to the design of this bearing combination the center point of the radius of the thrust bearing has to correspond with the one of the radial bearing. This can be adjusted by means of a distance ring.
04.29
Force: as the gearing system is realised by means of a helical gear wheel, both radial as well as axial loads have to be supported Design: simple and economical design by means of two deep groove ball bearings, both bearings are realised as a nonlocating bearing in order to enable an axial clearance to compensate possible thermal expansions, this floating bearing design can only be realised when a constant sense of rotation is given
04.30
Force: very high radial loads but minor thrust loads (due to possible tilting motion, acceleration and braking forces of the crane trolley Design: two spherical roller bearings designed as floating bearing arrangement, the axial clearance is realised by leaving the position of the inner ring non-located

Force: high radial forces and average to high axial loads due to bending manoeuvres Design: Two tapered roller bearings which are arranged in a laterally reversed way, the axial clearance of the two bearings can be adjusted by means of a castel nut
04.32
Force: the worm brings mostly axial forces into the system and only minor radial forces, whereas the worm gear induces mostly radial forces Design: The bearing of the worm is realised by means of a locating and a nonlocating bearing, the locating one being designed by means of two angular contact ball bearing, which are arranged in a Xposition so as to get a less rigid design which can also adjust to certain misalignments, the non-locating bearing is given by a cylindrical roller bearing; for the bearing system of the gear wheel a combination of a deep groove ball bearing as a locating bearing and a cylindrical roller bearing as the non-locating bearing

Comparison between
rolling bearings and slide bearings
Starting friction is low a desirable feature for intermittent service or for starting at low temperatures. Loads can be inclined at any angle in the transverse plane. Maintenance costs are low. Bearings are easily replaced when worn out. Less axial space is required than for slide bearings. Shafts are thus shorter, and may even be smaller in diameter Thrust loads can be supported. Operation is quieter than with rolling bearings, especially after first wear effects. There is less difficulty with fatigue. First cost is usually lower. They are less easily injured by foreign particles. Less radial space is required than for rolling bearings. They are better suited to overload and shock conditions.

The lubricating grooves have to be positioned outside the pressure zone (a) of the slide bearing. Otherwise the supporting oil film will be interrupted (b).
04. Rolling and slide bearings 04.44
Because of the viscous shear stresses developed in the oil, the moving journal draws oil into the converging, wedge-shaped area above the region of contact. The resulting pumping action produces a pressure in the oil film which lifts the journal from the bearing. The boundary lubrication and the mixed-film lubrication precede the full-film lubrication.
