Question

Cylindrical load bearing has lower load capacity as compared to deep groove ball bearing.

(a) True

(b) False

I was questioned about this in sample papers.

This fundamental question comes from the Types of Bearings module in section Rolling Contact Bearings, Spur Gears and Helical Gears of Machine Design

Answer 1

The suitable answer is (b) False

Let me elaborate: Cylindrical load bearing has a line contact and hence higher load capacity.
