Preface:

In the second edition of this Reference Series Book, a chapter on the principles of thrust bearings was introduced, together with a very important chapter on friction and lubrication of bearings. An additional chapter on bearing metals was also included in that edition. In order to provide space for this material, the chapter on ball bearings which was contained in the first edition, was eliminated. This chapter, together with a considerable amount of additional matter on the same subject, is included in MACHINERY'S Reference Book, No. 56, "Ball Bearings."

Introduction, Chapter 1:

The design of journals, pins, and bearings of all kinds is one of the most important problems connected with machine construction. It is a subject upon which we have a large amount of data, but, unfortunately, they are very conflicting. The results obtained from the rules given by different mechanical writers will be found to differ by GO per cent or more. Many of our best modern engines have been designed in defiance of the generally accepted rules on this subject, and many other engines, when provided with what were thought to be very liberal bearing surfaces have proved unsatisfactory. This confusion has largely been the result of a misconception of the actual running conditions of a bearing.

Angular Contact Bearings - Review Angular contact bearings are constructed such that their races and the bearing balls contact points are at some angle relative to the axis of the operating axis of the bearing.
Angular / Radial Contact Ball Bearings Static Load Rating Static load rating for Angular / Radial Contact Ball Bearings, use the following the equation:

Ball Bearings Fatigue Life Calculations and Load Ratings Fatigue life calculations assume the dispersion in life of identical ball bearings operating under identical conditions, a statistical result is obtained for bearing fatigue life.
Ball Bearings Application and Standard Designations The single-row deep-groove radial contact ball bearings will take radial load well and some thrust load.
Ball Screw Support Bearings Ball screw is a mechanical linear actuator that translates rotational motion to linear motion with little friction.
Ball Bearings ABEC Tolerances The ABEC scale is an industry accepted standard for the tolerances of a ball bearing. It was developed by the Annular Bearing Engineering Committee (ABEC) of the American Bearing Manufacturers Association (ABMA)
