A bearing is a critical machine element designed to reduce friction between moving parts and support rotational or linear motion. Bearings allow smooth, efficient movement while handling a variety of loads — radial, axial, or a combination of both.
Engineered from high-strength materials such as stainless steel, chrome steel, or ceramic, bearings are built to perform under demanding conditions. They are essential components in automotive assemblies, industrial machinery, electric motors, household appliances, and countless other mechanical systems.
There are several types of bearings, including:
-
Ball Bearings – Ideal for high-speed applications with lower load requirements.
-
Roller Bearings – Designed to support heavier loads and offer enhanced shock resistance.
