Bearings are machine elements implemented to guide motion and minimize friction between moving parts. Bearings typically provide either free linear movement for a moving part, or free rotation around a stationary axis. Bearings are classified by their operation, their movement, and the directions of the forces applied to the parts. The most common type of bearing is the rolling-element bearing, also called ball bearing. These bearings consist of inner and outer rings called races and a set of rolling elements like balls, pins, or cylinders that move on a track formed by the races.
