01 / BEARING FAMILIESUnderstanding bearing types
Ball bearings are often selected for relatively low friction and suitable speeds, while roller-bearing designs can offer stronger support for certain radial-load scenarios. Angular-contact designs can support combined radial and axial loads. The correct choice depends on the full machine arrangement, not on the bearing name alone.

For real engineering use, confirm dimensions, tolerances, mounting fits, preload, rotation speed, operating temperature, lubrication, sealing, load magnitude and load direction. Consult a manufacturer data sheet or an appropriately qualified engineer before choosing parts for safety-critical machinery.

Profile rail guides constrain movement along an axis; ball screws turn rotary input into linear travel; stages combine guidance and mounting surfaces. Mechanical selection should consider applied moments, stiffness, travel, environment and the full axis architecture.
