Ball bearings are a type of rolling bearings use ball Maintain the separation between the two bearings Race .
The purpose of ball bearings is to reduce rotational friction and provide support. radial and Axial Load. It achieves this by using at least three races to accommodate the balls and transferring the load through the balls. In most applications, one race is fixed, while another race is attached to a rotating component (e.g., a hub or shaft). When one of the bearing races rotates, it also causes the balls to rotate. Because the balls are rolling, their speed is much lower. coefficient of friction Instead of two planes sliding against each other.
