Ball Bearings
The object of ball bearings (and roller bearings) is the substitution of pure rolling motion for plain sliding friction.
<br>
<br>Ball Bearings rely on the rolling motion of hardened steel balls to absorb loads. This rolling motion produces far less friction than the sliding motion. These steel balls are held in circular rows between an outer and inner ring, which have raceways, or slots, grooved into them to guide the balls. Ball bearings are available in both filling-slot and no filling-slot types. Other types of bearings have developed from these basic designs, like double-row and deep groove bearings, to handle specific application. No filling-slot bearings have a deep uninterrupted raceway, which allows them to carry both high radial loads as well as moderate Thrust loads. Filling-slot bearings have more balls than no filling bearings of comparable size. This gives them a higher radial load capacity, but Thrust loads must be light.
<br>
<br><b>Types of Ball bearing systems:</b>
<br>
<br>Rigid single row ball bearing. - Basic type of bearing widely used. The balls run in comparatively deep grooved tracks, which make the bearing suitable for both radial (journal) load and axial thrust load. The bearing provides location of the shaft in relation to the housing when provided with suitable means of clamping.
<br>
<br>Rigid single row bearing with filling slots for balls. - This bearing contains more balls than the standard type and can therefore take heavier radial loads but only limited thrust.
<br>
<br>Rigid double row bearing. - For heavy radial loads and to provide greater rigidity. Requires accurate location if used in conjunction with another bearing.
<br>
<br>Self-aligning double row bearing. - For applications in which slight deflections cannot be avoided when rotating.
<br>
<br>Aligning single row bearing. - This bearing will correct initial angular misalignment between shaft and housing but is not designed to accommodate shaft deflection or misalignment

    During a bowling league there are many terms that a person that has never bowled might not understand such as getting tapped. What could sound a little vulgar really means that a bowler's shot, or throw, was a good ball but left a corner pin such as a ten pin for a right hander or seven pin for a left hander. Each pin has a designated number starting with the head pin, or the front pin, numbered one then working left to right and front to back numbering the rest until you get to ten. It is a good bowler's goal to become lined up, or getting the correct angle to the pins, to reach the pocket. The pocket is an elusive creature known as the one and three pins for right handers and the one and two pins for left handers. The pocket can be very frustrating to find because of oil patterns. Oil is applied to the lane to make bowling more challenging. It can be applied in various amounts, lengths, and even shapes. This causes a bowler to use different types of bowling balls that are either are aggressive, that means to hook more, or balls that skid further down the lane before they hook. These are some of the most fundamental terms that an outsider would need to know to watch bowling and discuss it on basic level.…

    Spheroidal joints to give them their technical name are joints that include two articular surfaces; a ball shaped head that fits into a cup shaped socket ( hence the name). It allows for stable movemnt in many different directions without slippage. Movemnets such as flexion, abduction, adduction, extension and circumduction all occur freely here. An example of a ball and socket joint is the hip (femur-acetabulum), as well as the shoulder and the talo-calcaneonavicular joint.…

    Bearings are small wheels that go inside of the boards wheels and are able to turn very easily. They are a pain to get in but they are what make the wheels spin for so long. The wheels are the last part of the board. They have many different types of wheels fit for how people like to ride. If you don’t like doing tricks and just like cruising, then big and soft wheels are the best because they absorb the impact of rocks and cracks. If you like doing tricks then smaller and harder wheels are great because they give you more…

    A crank is an arm attached at right angles to a rotating shaft by which reciprocating motion is imparted to or received from the shaft. It is used to convert circular motion into reciprocating motion, or vice-versa. The arm may be a bent portion of the shaft, or a separate arm attached to it. Attached to the end of the crank by a pivot is a rod, usually called a connecting rod. The end of the rod attached to the crank moves in a circular motion, while the other end is usually constrained to move in a linear sliding motion.…
