Bearings
cartridge bearing
Machine tools; Bearings
An extra wide double shielded or sealed bearing designed to increase grease capacity of bearing.
combined load
Machine tools; Bearings
Both radial and thrust loads applied to the same bearing at one time.
cohesion
Machine tools; Bearings
The molecular attraction between grease particles that causes them to stick together. This attraction contributes to its resistance to flow.
coefficient of friction
Machine tools; Bearings
The ratio of the friction between two surfaces to the pressure between them. A low coefficient of friction means low friction losses that are influenced by the viscosity and character of the ...
closed-end bearing
Machine tools; Bearings
A drawn cup bearing where one end of the cup has a solid face, which fully encloses that end of the bearing. This allows the housing to be through bored (straight housing). The closed end of the ...
caged bearing
Machine tools; Bearings
Similar to a full complement bearing, except that there are fewer rollers, allowing room for the cage.
