Which Bearing should be in flange types induction Motor?

which Bearing should be in flange types induction Motor? is it BALL BEARING or TAPPER ROLLER BEARING?

Regardless of the end of the machine (drive or non-drive), bearing choice is going to be made based on the following criteria.

1) Radial (perpendicular to shaft axis) load on the bearing.
2) Axial (parallel to shaft axis) load on the bearing.
3) Required rotational speed / surface speed at the shaft journal.
4) Lubrication method chosen - i.e. grease or oil.

For horizontal mounting: Radial loads include both machine weight and induced forces from alignment and process eccentricities. Axial loads include only thrust forces from the driven equipment.

For vertical mounting: Axial loads include both machine weight and induced thrust forces from driven equipment. Radial loads include only thrust forces from alignment / process eccentricities.

In general, deep-groove ball bearings will allow higher rotational speed for the same lubricant and journal diameter, but cannot handle as high an axial load compared to tapered roller configurations.

Generally, the manufacturer has already decided which type of anti-friction bearing is used. And as noted above, they take into account many different considerations, all dependent upon the type of load and load characteristics.
Generally, when replacing a bearing, replace it with the original type bearing.
It can happen, infrequently, that the bearing type is changed. e.g. A roller bearing has different characteristics than a ball bearing.

It's usually determined by the application, not if it's flanged or foot mounted. Most common applications for roller bearings are "extremely heavy", multi-groove sheaves(V-belt drives), or multi row chain sprocket loads. Direct coupled applications use standard roller bearings, unless it's under extreme shock load conditions. In those conditions they usually have a double row ball bearing.
