What bearings are used in your MOTORCYCLE?

Bearings used in motorcycles require very high rigidity and excellent anti-dust characteristics because they are always exposed to dusty environments where they are subjected to shock loads at high temperatures and high speed rotation.

Endurance in the face of water and mud is also a requirement since wheel bearings are used for a wide variety of road conditions and riding requirements. It requires a special inner design and better sealing performance than the common bearings. Here are the common types of bearings found in motorcycles:

1. Deep Groove Ball Bearings

Description: These are the most widely used bearings in motorcycles, capable of supporting both radial and axial loads.

Applications: Commonly found in wheel hubs, gearboxes, and other rotating parts.

Examples: Common sizes include 6001ZZ, 6002-2RSR, and 6203.

2. Tapered Roller Bearings

Description: Designed to handle combined radial and axial loads, these bearings feature tapered rollers that provide a larger contact area.

Applications: Typically used in steering head bearings and wheel hubs where high load capacities are required.

Benefits: They allow for precise alignment and can accommodate misalignment.

3. Needle Roller Bearings

Description: These bearings use long, thin rollers (needles) to support heavy radial loads while maintaining a compact design.

Applications: Often found in applications where space is limited, such as in the transmission and clutch systems.

Advantages: Provide high load capacity relative to their size.

4. Angular Contact Ball Bearings

Description: Designed to support axial loads in one direction along with radial loads, these bearings have a contact angle that allows for higher speed capabilities.

Applications: Commonly used in high-speed applications like the gearbox and rear wheel hubs.

Features: They can be arranged in pairs to accommodate loads from both directions.

5. Spherical Roller Bearings

Description: These bearings can accommodate misalignment between the shaft and housing, making them suitable for applications with significant shaft deflection.

Applications: Used in rear suspension components and other areas where alignment may vary.

6. Thrust Ball Bearings

Description: Designed to handle axial loads only, these bearings consist of balls placed between two grooved washers.

Applications: Often used in applications like the clutch assembly where axial load support is needed.
