Bearings may be classified broadly according to the motions they allow and principle of operation as well as by the directions of applied loads they can handle. Generally, they are Ball Bearing, car engine bearing, car wheel bearing, belt tensioner bearing, clutch release bearings, clutch bearing, NTN bearing, NTN ball bearing and other special bearings.

   * For automotive bearing types, there are: Gearbox bearings
   * Wheel hub Ball Bearings
   * Water pump bearings
   * Clutch release bearings
   * Suspension bearings
   * Needle bearings for automotive
   * Needle roller bearings
   * Taper roller bearings

Automotive Bearing - Ball Bearing

There are many types of bearings. Ball bearings are probably the most common type of bearing. They are found in everything from inline skates to hard drives. These bearings can handle both radial and thrust loads, and are usually found in applications where the load is relatively small. While tolerance is an important factor in the performance of a bearing, there are many other factors that also affect the suitability of a bearing to its application. Most ball bearings are single-row designs. Some double-row designs are available but they need better alignment than single-row bearings.
Automotive - Clutch Bearing / Clutch Release Bearing

An automotive clutch release bearing is a major part of auto vehicle. With the development of the auto industry , different types of clutch release bearings have been developed to meet different situation. It has developed from the type of low speed unit with non-self-aligning, free outer ring, cast iron sleeve, integral of the inner ring and the sleeve, today clutch release bearings with self-aligning, rotational inner ring, pressed cover, pressed sleeve or plastic sleeve have been developed to operate under high rotational speed reliably. It achieves components integrality by reducing the weight, cost and also offering a reliable operation and long service life.
Automotive Bearing - Wheel Bearing

If you want to your car to be smooth to drive, make the wheel bearing particularly one of your priorities. Wheel bearings hold your wheels on and allow them to spin properly. They are not an automotive component to be taken lightly. Most wheel bearings are sealed at the factory and don't require replacement until, perhaps, 150,000 miles.
