What is the major difference between hydrodynamic & rolling bearings?
Which one is used in which application?
Hydrodynamic and rolling bearings
Re: Hydrodynamic and rolling bearings
Hydrodynamic bearings use a thin film of fluid (like oil) to separate moving surfaces, reducing friction.
Roller bearings use rolling elements (balls or rollers) to reduce friction.
Hydrodynamic bearings are often more robust against external factors.
The primary difference lies in how they handle friction. Hydrodynamic bearings rely on fluid lubrication, while roller bearings use rolling elements. The choice between them depends on factors like load, speed, operating environment, and desired lifespan.
Hydrodynamic bearings are often preferred in applications with high loads and speeds, while roller bearings are common in automotive and machinery applications.

Re: Hydrodynamic and rolling bearings
We have a case where we are identifying the frequent failure of a finished product transportation through conveyors.
Now for such applications, what should be considerations to choose the type of bearings?
