EXERCISE 81 Match the descriptions of the bearings with the pictures.

 1 In a roller bearing, the wheel hub
doesn’t touch the axle. Between them
is a set of rollers in a groove that
rotate with the hub. As the wheel
moves, the rollers rotate and circulate
around the

grooves in which they move are both
conical. They are capable of supporting
considerable loads. A single roller bearing
can only support thrust in one direction,
so a second row with the taper facing the
opposite direction is provided.

Bicycles use ball bearings, not roller
bearings.
The simplest type of bearing is the
plain bush bearing. A shaft rotates
inside a sleeve, called a “bush”. When
friction wears away the bush, it can be
replaced.

EXERCISE 82 Answer in Spanish the questions about these descriptions.
