Bearings

Technology / Motors / Bearings: Are used to reduce friction and wear while supporting rotating elements. For a motor it must provide a relatively rigid support for the output shaft. The bearing acts as the connection point between the rotating and stationary elements of a motor. There are various types such as roller, ball, sleeve (journal), and needle. The ball bearing is used in virtually all types and sizes of electric motors. It exhibits low friction loss, is suited for high speed operation and is compatible in a wide range of temperatures. There are various types of ball bearings such as open, single shielded or sealed. Reliance offers a unique PLS bearing system.
