Bearing(s) may refer to: Bearing (angle), a term for direction; Bearing (mechanical), a component that separates moving parts and takes a load; Bridge bearing, a component separating a bridge pier and deck; Bearing BTS Station in Bangkok; Bearings, by Ronnie Montrose in 2000
A ball bearing. A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only the desired motion and reduces friction between moving parts.The design of the bearing may, for example, provide for free linear movement of the moving part or for free rotation around a fixed axis; or, it may prevent a motion by controlling the vectors of normal forces that bear on the moving parts.
A magnetic bearing. A magnetic bearing is a type of bearing that supports a load using magnetic levitation. Magnetic bearings support moving parts without physical contact. For instance, they are able to levitate a rotating shaft and permit relative motion with very low friction and no mechanical wear. Magnetic bearings support the highest ...

Silicon nitride bearing balls, in diameters ranging from 1 to 20mm. Bearing balls are special highly spherical and smooth balls, most commonly used in ball bearings, but also used as components in things like freewheel mechanisms. The balls themselves are commonly referred to as ball bearings. [1] This is an example of a synecdoche.
Journal (friction, radial or rotary) bearing: This is the most common type of plain bearing; it is simply a shaft rotating in a hole. [3] In locomotive and railroad car applications a journal bearing specifically referred to the plain bearing once used at the ends of the axles of railroad wheel sets, enclosed by journal boxes .
Fluid bearings are bearings in which the load is supported by a thin layer of rapidly moving pressurized liquid or gas between the bearing surfaces. [1] Since there is no contact between the moving parts, there is no sliding friction, allowing fluid bearings to have lower friction, wear and vibration than many other types of bearings.
In the acknowledgements of "Love, Pamela," Anderson thanks sons, Dylan and Brandon Lee, saying, "this was your idea," and that even though she was "hesitant," they knew that she "needed to take ...
