Bearings (mechanical)

machine element which constrains relative movement to the desired motion and reduces friction between moving parts

type of rolling-element bearing that uses balls to reduce rotational friction and support radial and axial loads

simplest type of bearing, comprising just a bearing surface and no rolling elements

bearing carrying a load using rolling elements between two concentric rings

study of the deformation of solids that touch each other

Swedish engineer (1876–1953)

general term for the members installed between the superstructure and substructure of a bridge

global industrial scale for bearing tolerance

machine element for guiding a component along a straight line

coupling alternative

the bearings which hold the crankshaft in place and allow it to rotate within the engine block

roller element bearing that tolerates angular misalignment

particular type of rotary bearing

highly spherical and smooth ball used as a component of a ball bearing or other mechanical device

bearings that use a thin film of pressurized gas to provide a low friction

used in sensitive measuring equipment

metal alloy

characteristic number of hydrodynamic bearings

type of air bearing

in machining, the contact area between two objects – often used for the area of a screw head that directly connects to the attached part.

plain bearing or roller bearing that allows limited rotation orthogonal to the shaft axis

bearing damage caused by fretting
