Introduction
Automotive bearings are a vital component in automobiles and are responsible for efficient and smooth running of the vehicle. Their main function is to enable linear or rotational movement along with handling high stress. They are the central part in various automobiles that allow the desired motion and compel relative motion.
They ensure efficiency and speed enhancement of the vehicle at the same time maintaining balance. Automotive bearings involve a ball with an external and internal frictionless metal surface that support the smooth movement of the bearings. The ball inside the bearing typically handles the load which in turn causes rotation of the bearing.
