Relative Motion
A bearing allows relative motion between two surfaces with minimal friction.
In a rolling element bearing, the primary motion is a rolling motion using a ball or roller. There is direct contact between the ball/roller and the inner and outer surfaces (races).
In a fluid film bearing, the relative motion between the two surfaces is a sliding motion on... Read more...
