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.
