The escapement mechanism has been widely used for centuries in mechanical clocks. It is the mechanism by which a clock controls the release of stored energy, allowing it to advance in small, precise ...

In this Oct. 20, 2025, photo, tiny ball bearings surround a larger central bearing during the Fluid Particles experiment, ...

Ball splines and bearings: each play a role in mechanical function, and each are unique. All types of machinery are provided with supports for rotating shafts, and that supporting device is a ...

Ball bearings—the familiar pieces that use balls to maintain the separation between the bearing races—have any number of uses. But the ones we're used to seeing in cars and other machines tend to be ...

Unground ball bearings may be wholly unground, ground in part, or wholly ground, but are characterized by precision levels less than ABEC 1. They are available in the traditional ball bearing forms to ...

What do clocks, skateboards, and industrial machinery have in common? They all rely on bearings to maintain their smooth rotational movements. However, to achieve reliability, they must be maintained ...
