Question 1 of 27070

Q

Which of the following is an example of a solid bearing?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between solid bearing and antifriction (rolling element) bearing • How relative motion occurs between shaft and bearing surface • Which components typically use a bushing instead of rollers or balls

💭 Think About

• For each option, ask yourself: does this usually have a rotating shaft directly supported by a smooth surface or by rolling elements like balls/rollers? • Which of these parts is most commonly described as a bushing, and is a bushing considered a type of solid bearing? • Think about which of these would normally have complex rolling-element assemblies versus a simple metal-to-metal sliding surface with lubrication.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is associated with a plain, sleeve, or bushing-type bearing • Eliminate any options that typically use rolling elements (balls or rollers) • Confirm that a solid bearing involves sliding contact over a lubricated surface, not rolling contact.
