Source sentences:
text: A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only the desired motion, and reduces friction between moving parts.
text: In other words, a bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motions and used to reduce the friction between moving parts.
text: Essentially, a bearing can reduce friction by virtue of its shape, by its material, or by introducing and containing a fluid between surfaces or by separating the surfaces with an electromagnetic field.
text: The bearings are used to allow rotation or linear movement and to reduce friction between two objects.
text: Bearings reduce friction by providing smooth metal balls or rollers, and a smooth inner and outer metal surface for the balls to roll against.
text: The bearing reduces friction, and the V-groove keeps the part in the proper position while allowing movement.
text: As nouns the difference between bearing and bushing is that bearing is a mechanical device that supports another part and/or reduces friction while bushing is (mechanical engineering) a type of bearing, a cylindrical lining designed to reduce friction and wear inside a hole, often used as a casing for a shaft, pin or hinge.
