Do you want to learn more about "What is 'antifriction bearing'"? Yes? Let's get ready for this article!
A quick answer isβ¦
Any bearing having the capability of reducing friction effectively.
Antifriction bearings are commonly taken to refer to rolling element bearings.
These bearing have rolling components, such as ball bearings.
Lubrication is used to cool the surfaces, reduce friction and wear for the portion of sliding contact that occurs, and form a fluid film that distributes contact stress over a larger area.
An antifriction bearing is fitted to the shaft, usually with an interference fit and utilizes rolling elements, bound by inner and outer rings that absorb the radial forces exerted on the rotor.
Antifriction-type bearings are typically applied to pumps and also aero-derivative gas turbines.
