Bearings & Sleeves

Function of Bearings

Bearings are often used to support a shaft or shaft and reduce friction as it rotates. Bearings come in different types such as bearings, slides and bearing housings. Rolling bearings provide rotational motion using rolling elements such as balls or rollers. Sliding surface beds allow flat surfaces to slide over each other.

Function of Sleeves

Sleeves are elements generally placed between the bearing surfaces and the shaft. Sleeves are the surfaces of bearings that reduce friction and prevent wear. Generally, by using lubricants such as oil or grease, sleeves ensure the smooth operation of bearings.

Intersectoral Importance

Machinery and Production Industry: Bearings and sleeves are used to support the moving parts of machines, ensure movement and minimize friction. In production lines, conveyor systems and robotic applications, these elements help ensure continuous and precise movement.

Automotive: In the automotive industry, bearings and sleeves are used in many components of vehicles such as chassis, wheels, steering systems and engines. These elements help increase driving safety and durability.

Energy Production: Used in energy production, bearings and sleeves, turbines, generators and other equipment. These elements minimize energy loss while directing rotational motion at high speeds.

Aerospace: In the aviation and space industry, bearings and sleeves are used in many applications from aircraft to spacecraft. Factors such as ensuring precise movement, weight reduction and durability are important in this sector.
