2. Rolling-element bearings

Abrasive

An abrasive is a material, often a mineral, that is used to shape or finish a workpiece through rubbing which leads to part of the workpiece being worn away by friction.

American National Standards Institute

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is a private nonprofit organization that oversees the development of voluntary consensus standards for products, services, processes, systems, and personnel in the United States.

American Society of Mechanical Engineers

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is an American professional association that, in its own words, "promotes the art, science, and practice of multidisciplinary engineering and allied sciences around the globe" via "continuing education, training and professional development, codes and standards, research, conferences and publications, government relations, and other forms of outreach." ASME is thus an engineering society, a standards organization, a research and development organization, an advocacy organization, a provider of training and education, and a nonprofit organization.

Fatigue (material)

In materials science, fatigue is the initiation and propagation of cracks in a material due to cyclic loading.

Fatigue limit

The fatigue limit or endurance limit is the stress level below which an infinite number of loading cycles can be applied to a material without causing fatigue failure.

See Rolling-element bearing and Fatigue limit

Fluid bearing

Fluid bearings are bearings in which the load is supported by a thin layer of rapidly moving pressurized liquid or gas between the bearing surfaces. Rolling-element bearing and Fluid bearing are bearings (mechanical).

See Rolling-element bearing and Fluid bearing

Friction

Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other. Rolling-element bearing and Friction are Tribology.

See Rolling-element bearing and Friction

Gear bearing

A gear bearing is a type of rolling-element bearing similar to an epicyclic gear. Rolling-element bearing and gear bearing are rolling-element bearings.

See Rolling-element bearing and Gear bearing

Groove (engineering)

In manufacturing or mechanical engineering a groove is a long and narrow indentation built into a material, generally for the purpose of allowing another material or part to move within the groove and be guided by it.

See Rolling-element bearing and Groove (engineering)

Gyroscope

A gyroscope (from Ancient Greek γῦρος gŷros, "round" and σκοπέω skopéō, "to look") is a device used for measuring or maintaining orientation and angular velocity.

See Rolling-element bearing and Gyroscope

Jules Suriray

Jules Pierre Suriray was a Parisian bicycle mechanic who patented, in 1869, the use of ball bearings in bicycles. Rolling-element bearing and Jules Suriray are bearings (mechanical).

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (15 April 14522 May 1519) was an Italian polymath of the High Renaissance who was active as a painter, draughtsman, engineer, scientist, theorist, sculptor, and architect.

Liquid oxygen

Liquid oxygen, sometimes abbreviated as LOX or LOXygen, is a clear light sky-blue liquid form of dioxygen.

See Rolling-element bearing and Liquid oxygen

Lubricant

A lubricant (sometimes shortened to lube) is a substance that helps to reduce friction between surfaces in mutual contact, which ultimately reduces the heat generated when the surfaces move. Rolling-element bearing and lubricant are Tribology.

See Rolling-element bearing and Lubricant

Mean time between failures

Mean time between failures (MTBF) is the predicted elapsed time between inherent failures of a mechanical or electronic system during normal system operation.

See Rolling-element bearing and Mean time between failures

Mechanical engineering

Mechanical engineering is the study of physical machines that may involve force and movement.

See Rolling-element bearing and Mechanical engineering

Momentum

In Newtonian mechanics, momentum (momenta or momentums; more specifically linear momentum or translational momentum) is the product of the mass and velocity of an object.

Rolling

Rolling is a type of motion that combines rotation (commonly, of an axially symmetric object) and translation of that object with respect to a surface (either one or the other moves), such that, if ideal conditions exist, the two are in contact with each other without sliding.
