Bearing Inserts, commonly known as a wide inner ring bearing, are basically deep groove ball bearings. Insert bearings are designed in almost the same way as deep groove ball bearings, except that the outer ring is spherical.

Pillow block bearing is a mounted bearing which is used to provide support for a rotating shaft with the mounting surface on a parallel line with the axis of the shaft. Pillow block bearings are generally self-lubricating. Pillow block bearings are a form of mounted bearing used to provide load support for a rotating shaft axis. The bearing housing mounts to a surface parallel to the shaft axis. Selection of the appropriate bearings can be accomplished based on the shaft size and the radial and thrust load requirements. It is designed to support a shaft: the mounting surface is on a parallel line with the axis of the shaft. Elongated bolt holes in the base or feet of the unit allow for some adjustment and easy mounting of the pillow block bearing.

Rod End Bearings is mainly used on cylinder ends, linkages, rod and shafts to handle angular misalignment between connected parts. It consists of an spherically shaped inner ring and a cylindrical bore for shaft mounting. These bearings are attached to rods and shafts via a male stud with external threads or a female housing with internal threads. Right-handed threads tighten in a clockwise direction and are the most commonly used type of thread. Rod end bearings differ in terms of dimensional specifications and special features. Dimensional specifications include design units, bore diameter, major diameter, bearing thickness, housing diameter, overall length, and thread length. Rod end bearings are used in applications that accommodate low to moderate shaft misalignment. They are also used in many aerospace, military, and automotive applications.
