Function of Ball Bearings:

This component is so crucial in the automotive industry that it is often referred to as the “bread and butter” of the automotive sector.

Function 1: Reducing friction and smoothing rotation.

The part that supports rotation and the rotating shaft creates friction. This component is used between these two parts to reduce friction and ensure smoother and more efficient rotation. Consequently, energy consumption is also reduced. Reducing friction is the most important function of this component.

Function 2: Protecting the rotating component and maintaining the correct position of the rotating shaft.

There is significant force between the rotating support section and the rotating shaft. The role of this component here is to prevent this excessive force from damaging the support section and to keep the rotating shaft in the correct position.
