A type of bearing that is designed to minimize friction efficiently. This bearing is specifically engineered to reduce the resistance encountered when two moving parts come into contact with each other. It accomplishes this by implementing various mechanisms such as rolling elements (e.g., balls or rollers) between the surfaces of the bearing, which helps to alleviate friction and enable smoother movement. The primary purpose of an antifriction bearing is to enhance the overall efficiency and performance of mechanical systems by reducing energy loss caused by friction.
