A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only the desired motion, and reduces friction between moving parts.
This is only possible due to the controlled movement of a machine element. The cans remain stationary.
For example, in a LRC network, the resistors, capacitors and inductors are the elements; the property of a resistor is its admittance, whereas a machine element's property could be its processing time, ratio between input items and output items, scrap percentage etc.
When visitors place their cursor over a machine element, the Interactive Troubleshooting Guide lists possible lubrication problems for the specific machine element and gives possible solutions and product recommendations to solve the problem.
Spindle speed is the most import important machine element and mechanically the spindle can be rotated upto 28,000 RPM.
They are very stable when force is applied directly through them, as in drilling with the workpiece fixtured above a platen (the component that attaches the bearing to the machine element, analogous to the nut of a ballscrew).
