Properties and Applications

A ball bearing, also recognized as an anti-friction part, is a type of rolling-element that has two ring-like tracks with small, freely rotating metal balls between them. Such metal balls provide smooth and low friction by carrying both axial and radial loads. Ball bearings are easy to maintain and, thus, are reliable in service due to their simple nature. These also help to support weight, promote effective transmission of power, and ensure proper alignment of movable components. Thanks to these properties, ball bearings are commonly used for high-speed and rotary applications in a wide range of industries.

It finds wide application in the following sectors:

• Automobile
• General Engineering
• Mining and Construction
• Railways, Aerospace, and Shipping
• Agriculture
• Others

The regional markets for ball bearing include North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa.
