BEARINGS

Introduction
Bearings are supports for shafts, providing stability, and free and smooth rotation. The
importance of bearings may be understood from the supporting requirement of machine tool
spindles, engine crankshafts, transmission or line shafts in workshops, etc. Bearings are broadly
classified into two categories: sliding contact bearings and rolling contact bearings or
antifriction bearings.
