KNIFE BEARING ASSEMBLY.

Bearings are widely used in restaurant equipment. They limit motion and reduce friction between moving parts. A bearing may provide for free linear or rotational movement of the part. Bearings are classified broadly according to the type of operation, the motion allowed, or to the direction of the load applied to the parts.

A knife (plural knives) is a tool with a cutting edge or blade which may or may not be be attached to a handle. Cutting implements, such as those used in mechanical food processors are similarly referred to as knives. The blade edge can be tapered or serrated, or a combination of both. Single-edged knives may have a reverse edge or false edge. These edges are usually serrated and are used to further enhance function. Knife blades can be manufactured from a variety of materials.
