What Are Gear Bearings and Their Uses?

June 14, 2021 Edward Nelson

Used for a variety of applications that range from transportation to power tools, industrial machinery, toys, and more, bearings are an overlooked, yet common, component used in our daily lives. Carrying a load while utilizing rolling elements, reducing friction, and providing tighter suspension for various gears, bearing assemblies encompass compact mechanical moving elements that hold interlocking gears together by force or mechanical suspension. Varying bearing types include gear bearings, ball bearings, ball thrust bearings, roller thrust bearings, tapered roller bearings, and more.

What are the Different Bearing Types?

March 11, 2020 Edward Nelson

When constructing an aircraft or other complex machines that undergo heavy stress during operation, bearings are an extremely useful hardware component to have for assembly. Bearings are mechanical components that mitigate friction caused by parts moving within a system, as well as allow for transfer of axial and radial loads across components. There are various types of bearings that can act for a wide amount of applications, and some examples include the bush bearing, pillow block, thrust bearing, and antifriction bearing (ball and roller bearings).
