They can be found in most types of machinery and equipment, from cars to computers. Ball bearings are designed to take the load of moving parts while also allowing them to move freely. Ball bearings come in many shapes and sizes, with some being made from metal or plastic.
Types of Ball Bearings
There are several different types of ball bearings that can be used for different applications.

Other types include thrust ball bearings, self-aligning ball bearings, and ceramic hybrid ball bearings.
How Ball Bearings Are Made
