Hello Everyone,
I hope you are doing well. I wanted to ask regarding the concept of locating and non locating bearings in a bearing housing and how to identify which is locating bearing and which is non locating bearing in a case when both the bearings being used are of the same designation for example if both ends of the shaft contain the bearing 22320-E1 then how to differentiate which is locating bearing and which is non locating.
Now in the above photo, one bearing was close to the motor while the other bearing was close to the ID Fan. Now how would i tell which is locating and which is non locating. Moreover, what type of bearing is typically used for locating bearing and what are the properties generally seen while selecting locating and non locating bearing?
One more case is that what is the reason for this collar on a bearing housing. According to the diagram it states that the bearing placed before this collar is the locating bearing and the bearing sitting on the other end is the non locating bearing.
If both(locating and non locating) are same bearings like 22320-E1 and since this bearing is used to withstand high radial loads then it would mean both the locating and non locating bearing should withstand the same type of radial laod? Then how come one is being called locating and the other is called non locating and what is the reason for the presence of collar in bearing housing?
Kindly answer as it would really help me clear a lot of concepts. I know these are quite beginner questions but i cannot wrap my mind around this concept.

This is the collar i am talking about? What is the reason for this collar in a bearing housing for locating bearing? Is it to withstand a certain amount of load or movement of bearing?
This is the place where the non locating bearing is present in the bearing housing.
