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.


Is a ball bearing magnetic will they float or sink?

Ball bearings are typically made of steel, which is not a magnetic material. They will sink in water and not float because their density is higher than that of water. If exposed to a strong magnetic field, ball bearings made of magnetic materials like iron may be attracted to the magnet.


Are ball bearings and wheelbearing hubs the same?

No, ball bearings are small metal balls placed inside a ring to reduce friction in rotating machinery, while wheel bearing hubs are components that house the bearings and attach the wheel to the vehicle's axle. Wheel bearing hubs contain ball bearings as part of their mechanism.


What kind of friction occurs when moving parts have the ball bearings?

Rolling friction occurs when moving parts have ball bearings. This type of friction is lower than sliding friction, as the ball bearings allow the parts to roll smoothly over each other with less resistance.


What can be used to try to reduce friction?

To reduce friction, you can use lubricants such as oil or grease, polish the surfaces to make them smoother, use ball bearings or rollers, or introduce a layer of Teflon or other low-friction material between the surfaces in contact.

When are ball bearings used?

Generally, a ball bearing is used when speed is important; a roller bearing is used more often when load is most important.


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.
