  2. California bearing ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_bearing_ratio

    The California Bearing Ratio (CBR) is a measure of the strength of the subgrade of a road or other paved area, and of the materials used in its construction. The ratio is measured using a standardized penetration test first developed by the California Division of Highways for highway engineering . [ 1 ]

  3. Spherical roller thrust bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Spherical_roller_thrust_bearing

    A spherical roller thrust bearing. A spherical roller thrust bearing is a rolling-element bearing of thrust type that permits rotation with low friction, and permits angular misalignment. The bearing is designed to take radial loads, and heavy axial loads in one direction. Typically these bearings support a rotating shaft in the bore of the ...

  4. Spherical roller bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_roller_bearing

    Spherical roller bearing with a brass cage in a cut-through view. A spherical roller bearing is a rolling-element bearing that permits rotation with low friction, and permits angular misalignment. Typically these bearings support a rotating shaft in the bore of the inner ring that may be misaligned in respect to the outer ring.

  5. Thrust bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust_bearing

    Fluid thrust bearings contain a number of sector-shaped pads, arranged in a circle around the shaft, and which are free to pivot. These create wedge-shaped regions of oil inside the bearing between the pads and a rotating disk, which support the applied thrust and eliminate metal-on-metal contact.

  6. Tapered roller bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapered_roller_bearing

    In many applications tapered roller bearings are used in back-to-back pairs so that axial forces can be supported equally in either direction. Pairs of tapered roller bearings are used in car and vehicle wheel bearings where they must cope simultaneously with large vertical (radial) and horizontal (axial) forces.

  7. R-value (soils) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-value_(soils)

    Many other agencies have adopted the California pavement design method, and specify R-Value testing for subgrade soils and road aggregates. The test method states: The R-value of a material is determined when the material is in a state of saturation such that water will be exuded from the compacted test specimen when a 16.8 kN load (2.07 MPa ...

  8. Rolling-element bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling-element_bearing

    Although bearings tend to wear out with use, designers can make tradeoffs of bearing size and cost versus lifetime. A bearing can last indefinitely—longer than the rest of the machine—if it is kept cool, clean, lubricated, is run within the rated load, and if the bearing materials are sufficiently free of microscopic defects.

  9. Linear-motion bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear-motion_bearing

    A linear-motion bearing or linear slide is a bearing designed to provide free motion in one direction. There are many different types of linear motion bearings. Motorized linear slides such as machine slides, X-Y tables , roller tables and some dovetail slides are bearings moved by drive mechanisms.
