-Description Ball or rollers are used to prevent or minimise rubbing -Friction Rolling coefficient of friction with steel can be ~ 0.005 ( adding resistance due to seals, packed grease, preload and misalignment can increase friction to as much as 0.125) -Stiffness Good, but some slack is usually present -Speed Moderate to high ( often requires cooling) -Life Moderate to high ( depends on lubrication, often requires maintenance) -Cautions Used for higher moment loads than plain bearings with lower friction
