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.

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.


Are ball bearings magnetic, and if so, how does their magnetic property affect their performance in machinery?

Ball bearings are not typically magnetic, as they are usually made of non-magnetic materials like steel. However, some ball bearings can be made with magnetic properties for specific applications. The magnetic property of ball bearings can affect their performance in machinery by influencing their ability to attract or repel other magnetic materials, which can impact their movement and stability within the machinery.


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

When parts have ball bearings, the friction that occurs is rolling friction. This type of friction is lower compared to sliding friction because the ball bearings allow the parts to roll past each other with less resistance, reducing wear and improving efficiency in mechanical systems.


What are two ways you can reduce friction in a machine?

A lubricant such as oil and ball bearings are just (2) methods of reducing friction.
