Ball bearing refers to a rolling-element bearing which uses balls for maintaining an appropriate gap between its movable parts. It helps to reduce the rotational friction which is generated by the working of a machine. The major components of a ball bearing include an outer ring, an inner ring, steel balls and a cage. Owing to its simple design, durability as well as low maintenance expenses and operating temperature, ball bearing is extensively used in aircrafts, automobiles, medical equipment, etc. A new research report by IMARC Group, titled “Ball Bearing Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2023” estimates that the global bearings market reached a volume of 33 Billion Tons in 2017.
