responsibilities
This refers to creating plans for the construction of something, such as drawing engine blueprints.
Design
The study of motion without considering mass or force.
Kinematics
A bearing using metal spheres to guide shaft motion.
Ball bearing
Movement perpendicular to an axis
Radial movement
Physical components such as gears or bearings
Hardware
The process of modifying machinery to enhance its performance.
Improve
The branch of physics studying heat-energy conversion.
Thermodynamics
A bearing with cone-shaped rollers for radial and moderate thrust forces.
Tapered roller bearing
Movement parallel to an axis
Axial movement
The stationary cylinder in a rolling contact bearing
Outer race
