A ball bearing is a mechanical component that uses steel balls (or ceramic balls) as rolling elements to transfer loads through rolling friction. Its core functions include:

Carrying radial and/or axial loads (depending on the type).

Reducing friction and improving mechanical efficiency.

Ensuring rotational accuracy and reducing vibration and noise.

Structure and Working Principle

Core Components:

Inner Ring: Mounted on the shaft and rotates with it.

Outer Ring: Fixed in the bearing housing, remaining stationary.

Rolling Elements (Balls): Made of steel or ceramic, rolling between the inner and outer rings' raceways.

Cage: Separates the balls, preventing collisions and ensuring even distribution.

Working Principle

The rolling elements roll between the inner and outer ring raceways, converting sliding friction into rolling friction, significantly reducing energy consumption (with a friction coefficient as low as 0.001).
