Flashcards

Purpose of a bearing

To reduce friction between moving parts, allowing for smoother and more efficient motion.

Ball bearing

A type of bearing that uses balls to minimize friction between surfaces.

Function of a thrust bearing

A bearing designed to support axial loads, or forces that act along the axis of rotation.

Study Notes

Bearing Basics

  • The primary purpose of a bearing is to reduce friction between moving parts in a machine, thereby increasing efficiency and lifespan.

Types of Bearings

  • One type of bearing that uses balls to reduce friction is a ball bearing.

Thrust Bearings

  • The function of a thrust bearing is to support axial loads, which are forces that act parallel to the axis of rotation, and to prevent axial movement.
