June 1, 2022What are the applications of slewing ball bearing? A ball bearing, is a type of rolling element bearing that uses a ball retainer for the distance between the bearing races.
The purpose of ball bearings is to reduce rotational friction and support radial and axial loads. It does this by using at least two races to accommodate the ball and transfer the load through the ball. In most applications, one race is stationary and the other race is secured to a rotating component (eg, a hub or axle). When one of the bearing races rotates, it also causes the balls to rotate. Because the balls roll, they have a much lower coefficient of friction than if two planes slide against each other.
