Vocabulary Term	Definition
Abrasive	Any hard foreign material that wears down the surface of components. When abrasives enter a bearing, they can break the lubrication film and cause damage.
Active Magnetic Bearings	A type of magnetic bearing requiring an external controlling system. Active magnetic bearings can operate at higher temperatures and support a higher load than passive magnetic bearings.
Angular Ball Bearings	A type of ball bearing in which the contact angle of the balls to the raceway is angled to allow them to accept greater thrust load than possible with non-angular ball bearings. Angular ball bearings are used in many machines, including gearboxes.
Anti-Friction Bearing	A type of bearing using rolling motion to support a load and reduce friction. Anti-friction bearings produce less friction than plain bearings.
Arcing	Overheating that occurs when electricity flows from one surface to another. In bearings, arcing can occur when insufficient lubrication leads to extensive contact between moving surfaces.
Asperity	A microscopic peak on a surface. Even surfaces that appear smooth contain many asperities. When objects are in motion, contact between their asperities causes friction.
Axis	An imaginary straight line that passes through the center of an object. A cylindrical component typically rotates around its axis.
Axle	A rotating shaft for a wheel or gear.
Babbitt	A metal alloy often used to line plain bearings. Babbitts are commonly made of large amounts of tin with a smaller amount of antimony, copper, and lead.

Bearing	A friction-reducing device that allows one moving part to glide past another moving part. Bearings operate using a sliding or rolling mechanism.
Bore	The diameter of an anti-friction bearing's shaft. The bore is also called the interior diameter (ID).

Hydrodynamic Bearing	A plain bearing operating using hydrodynamic lubrication. Hydrodynamic bearings are also called fluid film bearings.
Hydrodynamic Lubrication	A type of lubrication in which a lubricant film completely separates two surfaces in contact. Hydrodynamic lubrication is achieved when a bearing rotates quickly enough for lubrication to flow around the bearing and cover its entire surface. Hydrodynamic lubrication is also called full-fluid lubrication.
Hydrostatic Lubrication	A type of lubrication in which moving surfaces are separated externally by a highly pressurized fluid such as air, oil, or water. Hydrostatic lubrication is expensive and its use is limited.
