Is a simple answer, the best point in detail, I test graduate students to use, the official written point.
Plain bearings, usually made of bronze or Babbitt, have heavy duty characteristics and require a standing lubrication system to provide lubrication. Light load can be lubricated by powder metallurgy.Ball bearings are usually made of ball bearing steel, which is lubricated with grease and requires regular replacement of the grease. Rolling bearings usually can bear some axial force, but the sliding bearings do not have this function.
