What are the types of plain bearings?
According to the thickness of lubricating film, it can be divided into two kinds: film lubrication bearing and thick film lubrication bearing.
According to the bearing materials can be divided into bronze bearings, cast iron bearings, plastic bearings, stone bearings, powder metallurgy bearings, self-lubricating bearings and oil bearing.According to the bearing structure can be divided into round, elliptical bearing, bearing three oil blade bearing, the stepped surface bearing and tilting pad bearings and foil bearings etc..
According to the types of lubricants can be divided into oil lubricated bearings, grease lubrication bearings, water lubricated bearings, gas bearings, solid lubrication bearings, magnetic fluid bearings and electromagnetic bearings 7 categories.
There are many kinds of sliding bearings. According to the direction that can bear load, can be divided into radial (Xiang Xin) sliding bearings and thrust (axial) sliding bearings two categories.
