A bearing is a machine element that allows one part of the
machine to “bear” transfer or support load and/or rotation from
another part. Bearings allow constrained relative motion between
two or more parts, most commonly linear or rotational movement.
Bearings are often classified either by the directions of
applied loads they can handle, by the motions they allow, or by
their principle of operation. A bearing can be as basic as
bearing surfaces to form a specialized part, while other
bearings can be highly specialized, individual units that are
inserted into a machine. CBC is able to supply bearings for the
most basic of applications, right through to the most
sophisticated bearings, of the highest technology and most
accurately precise design, for use in the most demanding of
applications. There are at least six common principles of
bearing operation: · Rolling Element bearings, including ball
bearings, roller bearings, and needle bearings, they are the
most common type of bearing · Plain bearings, these in
