Ball bearing — For individual balls that are sometimes called ball bearings , see Ball (bearing). Working principle for a ball bearing … Wikipedia
ball bearing — ball bearing, adj. Mach. 1. a bearing consisting of a number of hard balls running in grooves in the surfaces of two concentric rings, one of which is mounted on a rotating or oscillating shaft or the like. 2. any of the balls so used. [1880 85]… … Universalium
Thrust ball bearing — Thrust ball bearings consist of two precision chrome steel washers (ring) and a ball complement spaced by bronze retainer. They can be supplied with or without radius ball grooves in the rings. Thrust bearings are used under purely axial loads.… … Wikipedia
Flange Ball Bearing — Bearings with a flange on the outer ring simplify axial location. These bearings are cost effective by not requiring spot facing when housing the end face. Many small balls are used in our extra thin type bearings, making friction torque and… … Wikipedia
Bearing (mechanical) — A bearing is a device to allow constrained relative motion between two or more parts, typically rotation or linear movement. Bearings may be classified broadly according to the motions they allow and according to their principle of operation as… … Wikipedia
bearing — /bair ing/, n. 1. the manner in which one conducts or carries oneself, including posture and gestures: a man of dignified bearing. 2. the act, capability, or period of producing or bringing forth: a tree past bearing. 3. something that is… … Universalium

Rolling-element bearing — A rolling element bearing is a bearing which carries a load by placing round elements between the two pieces. The relative motion of the pieces causes the round elements to roll with very little rolling resistance and with little sliding.One of… … Wikipedia
Thrust bearing — A thrust bearing is a particular type of rotary bearing. Like other rotary bearings they permit rotation between parts, but they are designed to support a high axial load while doing this.Thrust bearings come in several varieties. * Ball thrust… … Wikipedia
roller bearing — Mach. a bearing consisting of cylindrical or tapered rollers running between races in two concentric rings, one of which is mounted on a rotating or oscillating part, as a shaft. [1855 60] * * * One of the two types of rolling, or antifriction,… … Universalium
Spherical bearing — A spherical bearing is a bearing that permits angular rotation about a central point in two orthogonal directions within a specified angular limit based on the bearing geometry. Typically these bearings support a rotating shaft in the [bore] of… … Wikipedia
