Bearing Materials

Other polymers are used in special bearing designs where specific performance requirements such as high speed or low torque or low noise are identified Cages made from phenolic (phenol-formaldehyde) materials are most common in high speed ball bearings used in machine tool equipment spindles

Bearing (mechanical)

The first patent for a radial style ball bearing was awarded to Jules Suriray a Parisian bicycle mechanic on 3 August 1869 The bearings were then fitted to the winning bicycle ridden by James Moore in the world's first bicycle road race Paris-Rouen in November 1869 In 1883 Friedrich Fischer founder of QIBR developed an approach for milling and grinding balls of equal size and exact

Servicing Bicycle Headsets

New bicycle designs and the increasing popularity of cartridge bearings have led to several new headset dimensional standards The Standardized Headset Identification System (SHIS) has been developed by manufacturers to identify each of the dimensions that affect the fit of a headset to the bicycle frame and fork using a compact code

How Bicycles Work

Bicycles use ball bearings to reduce friction You can find ball bearings in: The front and rear hubs for the wheels The bottom bracket where an axle connects the two pedal cranks together The fork tube where the handlebars are allowed to turn The pedals The freewheel where they do double-duty (In the freewheel they also help provide the one-directional feature )
