Option 2 : Chromium steel
Concept:
- A ball bearing is a type of rolling-element bearing that uses balls to maintain the separation between the bearing races.
- The purpose of a ball bearing is to reduce rotational friction and support radial and axial loads.
- It achieves this by using at least two races to contain the balls and transmit the loads through the balls.
- As one of the bearing races rotates it causes the balls to rotate as well. Because the balls are rolling they have a much lower coefficient of friction than if two flat surfaces were sliding against each other.
- There are four major parts to a standard ball bearing: the outer race, the rolling balls, the inner race, and the cage.
- Balls, races in case of ball bearings are made up of 52100 chrome steel.
