BEARING HOUSING

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 housing is a mechanical component's container or covering. In restaurant equipment, a housing is an exterior case or enclosure used to protect an interior mechanism, including integrated fittings or brackets to keep internal components in place. The housing prevents the interior mechanism from being fouled by outside debris or to contain the internal components.
