I worked at NAPA and we had 2 bearing choices. They used to be SKF then they changed to FAG. Then there was the value line for a lot cheaper. Sadly customers always bought the cheap ones to save money. You get what you pay for.
I put one, together with its housing to support my iron gate. It only has one hinge, the other just sat in a plate in the ground that had gone oval. We put a taper so it sat in the inner ring and now it opens and shuts evenly and it top.part could now be adjusted since the whole thing was now stable!
Get to the point, half of the video was. telling us what a bearing is. So how are they made. You never actually covered it, other than it just happens in this machine.
Would have liked to know more how they make the balls perfectly round and how they get the balls into the race as it is an interference fit.
Fascinating! Thanks.

That was very interesting. Much appreciated.
my step dad made bearings at Timken for 40 years st thomas ont
3:14 Farmers, including those I work for, always call what you refer to as "rings" as "races". As in inner race and outer race.
talk about the uses, and dangers of static electricity.
Fascinating!
Who would have thought?
Who wooda thunk?
Great information. I couldn't help but think that this applied to American made, I think China may skip a few of the quality steps, from my experience
I bet that in India, there are no quality steps, including the type of steel used.
They always do! 😁
Schatz Bearings was in Poughkeepsie NY

Hmm that was nearly very interesting and very useful. But ended-up not so much
Everyone still wonders how they make the balls.
never conthought about bicycles before ball bearings. How were they made to last and they must have been hard to pedal.
The spacer can't be put in place until all the balls are in the two races
I wonder how much quality testing happens if the ball bearings are made in China
Great video. Thanks!
Balls
In my opinion you don't need tree trunks to roll/slide heavy stone, as dry sand behaves like billions of small ball bearings.

Ball bearings don't work as well in space.
