The Use of Bearings in the Automotive Industry

May. 27, 2021

All moving parts of a vehicle require bearings to function. Automotive bearings improve the performance of the vehicle, withstand heavy loads and reduce friction. Some of the major subsystems that use bearings are engines, transmissions, gearboxes, transmissions, wheels, steering, electric motors, pumps, etc. In addition, even wipers, mirrors, door and valve cover hinges require bearings to function smoothly. However, in the automotive industry, only ball bearings and tapped head bearings are used in large numbers. Next, the automotive bearing supplier will share the following content with you.

 

With more and more models and new vehicles entering the market, the demand for bearings is also increasing. Moreover, with the expansion of the middle class population and increase in disposable income, vehicle sales in all major automotive segments are expected to grow in the coming years, thus positively impacting the bearings market.

 

In turn, the bearing industry is rapidly delivering a new generation of bearings based on design concepts that reduce noise, reduce vibration, reduce weight, and improve durability and other performance parameters.

The Most Common Bearings Used In The Automotive Industry

While there are dozens of ball bearings available on the market, that doesn’t mean that the automotive industry doesn’t have their favorites. Mechanical bearings are used between two automotive parts that allow for rotation or liner movements. These bearings will enhance the vehicles performance, bear heavy loads, and reduce friction. Today we’re looking at the top 3 bearings used in the automotive industry .

1. Ball Bearings

As a general overview, ball bearings are rolling bearings that allow for a decrease in friction rotating between two surfaces; likely a vehicle and the pavement. This bearing will allow for changes in speed, by supporting radial and axial loads. They are essential in automotives and are one of the most common bearings used in the automotive industry.

2. Plain Bearings

Regular, plain old bearings that contain no rolling elements are widely used in the automotive industry. This is mainly because they have the ability to bear heavy loads and large carrying capacities. Not to mention they are usually the least expensive. Plain bearings also have a long life-span in comparison to other rolling bearings.

3. Thrust Bearings

Thrust bearings consist of three main parts. Like most other ball bearings they assist in the support of an axial load and allow for rotation between two parts. There are many different variations of thrust bearings available, such as: tapered roller thrust bearings, cylindrical bearings, and spherical bearings. These bearings are often used in automotive and aerospace applications.
