Technically speaking, the correct terminology for a throwout bearing is release bearing, as in clutch release bearing. When considered in those terms, it's easier to imagine what this component is and ...

Babbitt, like most bearing types, requires lubricant to reduce friction and remove heat from the bearing, rotating shaft and stationary housing. Babbitt bearings are a fluid film, or hydro-dynamic, ...

Experience shows seemingly identical rolling bearings operated under identical conditions may not last the same amount of time. In most cases, it is impractical to test a statistically significant ...

Bicycles rely on smooth-turning, low-friction bearings to allow them to roll forward with as little human effort as possible. We can’t create frictionless bearings – even Shimano hasn’t cracked ...
