Hi everyone! Do you know what are the components for Anti-friction bearings made of?
 
They are mostly made from metal, there maybe some made from plastic.
 
Certain species of wood have also been known to be used.
 
Ice makes a lovely anti-friction bearing surface. And air has been used for anti-friction bearings as well. Magnetic fields too.
 
'Anti-friction' originated in the marketing department, so take it for what it's worth.
