Do you know what bearing is? No, bearing isn’t the art of doing things to bears, and no the bearing I’m referring to has nothing to do with the navigational sense. I’m talking about bearing in the mechanical way. The average public probably knows nothing about bearing unless they specifically deal with bearing for work, which is unlikely for most. Effectively bearing can refer to any of the various machine elements that may constrain the relative motion between two or more moving parts to only the desired type of motion. This might be a long way of explaining what bearing is, but if you take the former statement and try applying it to moving technologies you’ve encountered in the past you should begin to understand exactly what I mean. Bearing for example can have a lot to do with transport. Most transport thrives on moving parts in order to propel itself forwards or backwards, hence why bearing would play an important part in achieving this locomotion. Cars, bikes, trains, and so on. All of these utilise bearing in a way to ensure that the motion is restricted to a safe and productive type. Trying to explain bearing is complex, so for the sake of argument let us take the humble bicycle for example. The type of movement on a bike must be affected by bearing, as too fast or too slow motion may impair transport capabilities to the point where the bicycle is no longer in motion.
The importance of bearing is really more than you’d ever know without some knowledge of dynamic transport methods. Bearing requires several components in order to work correctly, and often requires constant upkeep and maintenance to ensure that it functions correct. Moving back to the bicycle, you understand that some bike components require maintenance or replacing if damaged in order to function, and that is exactly the importance of bearing to dynamic transport systems. Without bearing they wouldn’t be able to function, or at the very least be able to function safely for the operator and others. Hopefully now you have a basic outline of bearing, but be aware it goes far beyond what you’ve learned here.
