What is Ball Bearing?

Ball bearings are small metal balls placed between the moving parts of a machine to make the parts move smoothly.

For example, they are used in bicycles to make the wheels move more smoothly

.  

Ball bearings use balls to separate two “races” or bearing rings, to reduce surface contact and friction across moving planes

They serve three main functions while it facilitates motion:

• They carry loads
• They reduce friction
• They support moving machine parts.
