Have you ever wondered how things like in line skate wheels and electric motors spin so smoothly and quietly? The answer can be found in a neat little machine called a bearing. It makes many of the machines we use every day possible. Without it, we would be constantly replacing parts that wore out from friction.

How Bearing Works:

Things roll better than they slide. The wheels on your car are like big bearings. If you had something like skis instead of wheels, your car would be a lot more difficult to push down the road.That is because when things slide, the friction between them causes a force that tends to slow them down. But if the two surfaces can roll over each other, the friction is greatly reduced.

It reduces friction by providing smooth metal balls or rollers, and a smooth inner and outer metal surface for the balls to roll against. These balls or rollers "bear" the load, allowing the device to spin smoothly.

Types:

There are many types of bearings, each used for different purposes. These include Hybrid Ceramic Ball Bearings, Air Bearings, Roller Bearings, Ball Transfers, High Precision Miniature Ball Bearings, High Temperature Bearings, Oscillating Bearings, Deep Groove Ball Bearings, Filament Wound Bearings, Plastic Bearings, Thin Section Bearings and Insert Ball Bearings with Housing.

PBA Singapore Flat Round air bearings allow anyone to design and build their own custom air bearing assemblies. The round configuration makes the most efficient use of standard raw materials and ultra-precision manufacturing techniques, ensuring low-cost standard product availability.

These bearings compare favorably with conventional rolling element bearings across virtually every performance characteristic. They are appropriate for highly-loaded applications, and are the easiest type of bearings to integrate into prototype designs as they can be readily replaced or changed.
 
They are also easy to apply. The gimbled mount allows for great flexibility in tolerance, and the threaded ball studs make alignment simple. In addition to the standard product line (shown), custom flat round bearings are also available, including replacement bearings for many CMM's.
