Oil-free sliding bearing varieties:
1 Sliding self-lubricating bearings in the direction of receiving load can be divided into radial (central) oil-free sliding bearings and thrust (axial) oil-free sliding bearings.
2 According to the variety of smoothing agents, it can be divided into oil smooth bearing, grease smooth bearing, water smooth bearing, gas bearing, solid smooth bearing, magnetic fluid bearing and electromagnetic bearing.
3 According to the thickness of the smooth film, it can be divided into two types: thin film smooth bearing and thick film smooth bearing.
4 According to the bearing material, it can be divided into bronze bearing, cast iron bearing, plastic bearing, jewel bearing, powder metallurgy bearing, self-smooth bearing and oil bearing.
5 According to the bearing structure can be divided into round bearing, elliptical bearing, three oil leaf bearing, step surface bearing, tilting pad bearing and foil bearing.
