Different Types of Bearings and their Uses

The main function of a bearing is to reduce the friction and stress in rotational and linear movements. Bearing are generally little wheels over which, a device is rolled or moved. These wheels come between the surface of the body, which is rolled and the surface of the bearing. While reducing the friction, it increases the speed and efficiency of the work. Bearing can be divided on the basis of their load handling capacity. Generally, bearing are designed to handle thrust or radial load or some are made to handle both.
