forces that bear on the moving parts. Most bearings facilitate the desired motion by minimizing friction. Bearings are classified broadly according to the...

bearings are best suited for helping reduce weight as well as smaller cross sections application, typically higher load capacity than ball bearings and...

drawer and the slides it rests on or the ways on the bed of a lathe. Plain bearings, in general, are the least expensive type of bearing. They are also compact...

Fluid bearings are bearings in which the load is supported by a thin layer of rapidly moving pressurized liquid or gas between the bearing surfaces. Since...

Air bearings (also known as aerostatic or aerodynamic bearings) are bearings that use a thin film of pressurized gas to provide a low friction load-bearing...

The cross moline (also cross anchory, French croix ancrée "anchor cross") is a Christian cross, constituting a kind of heraldic cross. The name derives...

owners of Schaeffler Group, one of the world's largest producers of rolling bearings. The other owner is her son Georg F. W. Schaeffler. Schaeffler was born...

night by wireless and British listening posts along the east coast took cross-bearings to find the positions of the ships when they transmitted. This signals...

heraldry as well. The monarch of Canada's prerogative to grant armorial bearings has been delegated to the Governor General of Canada. Canada has its own...

of main bearings per engine varies between engines, often in accordance with the forces produced by the operation of the engine. Main bearings are usually...

Saint Patrick's Saltire or Saint Patrick's Cross is a red saltire (X-shaped cross) on a white field. In heraldic language, it may be blazoned argent, a...

The Guardrail aircraft normally fly in units of three, to get better cross-bearings in direction-finding. The Navy EA-6B Prowler replaced the USAF EF-111...

was invented by Auguste Verneuil, making jewelled bearings much cheaper. Today most jewelled bearings are synthetic ruby or sapphire. Historically, jewel...

navigation equipment, such at the Knickebein (crooked leg). By taking bearings and cross-bearings in the Battle of the Beams on German medium-wave transmitters...

construction makes it easier to maintain than other turbine types; only two bearings must be maintained, and there are only three rotating elements. The mechanical...

requires a crankcase with a large tunnel instead of cross web supports for narrower main bearings, hence the name. Tunnel crankcases appeared in the 1930s...

this way, the transverse forces are applied only to the crosshead and its bearings, not to the piston itself. Internal combustion engines using crossheads...

linear motion based on bearings, whether they are ball bearings, dovetail bearings, linear roller bearings, magnetic or fluid bearings. X-Y tables, linear...

often come as a complete assembly with the wheel and even integral ball bearings. They are used on lawn mowers, wheelchairs, and wheelbarrows. They can...

rolling element bearings fretting may occur when the bearings are operating in an oscillating motion. Examples of applications are blade bearings in wind turbines...
