Dutch translation of friction
French translation of friction
German translation of friction
Spanish translation of friction

  • antifriction: the active part of a bearing,consisting of two raceways between which are arranged,equally spaced,rolling solids of revolution(balls or rollers)of small diameter.The raceways are formed by two concentric rings,or by two parallel ring-like disks,or occasionally by one ring and the journal of the shaft
    Category: Mechanical engineering

  • antifriction: a bearing whose detachable active part is an antifriction bearing
    Category: Mechanical engineering

  • antifriction: an antifriction bearing in which the raceways are formed by two parallel ring-like disks; it is used as the active part of thrust bearings
    Category: Mechanical engineering

  • antifriction: a device consisting of a solid centre and of a sleeve-shaped shank surrounding it, antifriction bearings being interposed between the two. A rotating centre revolves with the workpiece; it is always used as a back centre
