What is a bearing?
A bearing is a part used to support a rotating shaft, allowing it to move freely. Bearings are usually made of hardened steel and contain ball bearings or rollers that rotate between two surfaces, helping to reduce friction and wear.
What is the purpose of a bearing?
The primary purpose of a bearing is to reduce friction and wear on a rotating part. Bearings also help to ensure that the part can move freely, without excessive vibration or noise.
How can I determine if my bearing is faulty?
If your bearing is faulty, you may notice several signs, such as excessive vibration or noise, parts that are not moving properly, or an unusual amount of heat coming from the bearing area. If you suspect that your bearing is faulty, it's important to inspect it as soon as possible.
Can a faulty bearing cause damage?
