Bearings

You can’t build drawers without slides. Also known as drawer runners, drawer slides are rail-based components that allow drawers to pull out from the furniture or objects with which they are used. Drawers will glide or “slide” along the drawer … Read More

When using bearings to protect moving parts from friction-related damage, you should be conscious of creep. Bearings can fail. One of the most common forms of bearing failure is creep. If left unchecked, it can shorten the lifespan of bearings … Read More

Bearings are often found in machines. As their name suggests, they are designed to “bear” the weight or force of a part. Machines often have multiple moving parts. Bearings can restrain the motion of these parts while also reducing friction … Read More

Bearings are found in a variety of machinery and equipment parts. Consisting of a cage, inner race, outer race and a set of balls, they are designed to reduce friction. Bearings literally “bear” the force of a part as the … Read More

There’s no denying the fact that ball bearing drawer slides are popular. When compared to wheel-based drawer slides, they have a smoother operation that makes them easier to use. Ball bearing drawer slides are characterized by the use of balls. … Read More

Industrial bearings are used to reduce friction created by the rotational movement of machinery parts. They contain balls that roll in the same direction as the rotational movement. As they roll, the balls will reduce friction while simultaneously carrying the … Read More

Ball bearings are found in many consumers and commercial products. As the name suggests, they are bearings that contain balls. Ball bearings are designed to reduce friction while simultaneously supporting a load. You can find them in engine shafts, centrifugal … Read More
