Advantages of journal bearings in contrast with anti friction bearings?
Generally, journal bearings have higher friction factor, consume higher energy and release more heat, but they have larger contact surface, so normally used in low speed high load applications.
What are the types of bearings used in a steam turbine?

What are bottom end bearings?
If you are referring to an internal combustion engine they are also called the 'big ends'. These are the bearings on the crankshaft and connecting rods, the bearings on the other end of the connecting rods are the 'small ends'.
Why you need bearings?
Bearings help machines work smoothly and keep gears and machines that need bushings (with bearings in them) from wearing out too quickly. Bearings significantly reduce friction in working machines (with the help of a bit of oil and grease), thus reducing wear and tear--and reducing maintenance costs and times of repair.
Do yaw bearings teeth point outward or indward on a wind turbine?

What is the difference between a ball point pen and a roller pen?
Ball & Roller Bearings both belongs to the category of radial contact bearings.In case of ball bearings spherical balls are used however in case of roller bearings cylindrical rollers are used.due to balls used in ball bearings there is a point contact is made whether it is line contact in roller.

How are ball bearings polished?
Ball bearings are polished by using an abrasive cloth. Before the bearings can be polished, the polishing paste must first be applied to the ball bearing.
Where can ball bearings be found?
If you need replacements, they can be bought at a hardware store. If you mean applications/uses ... bicycle wheels have ball bearings. Lots of rolling objects that move around an axle have either needle bearings or ball bearings or roller bearings.
