## [Differences Between Single Row and Double Row Ball Bearings](https://blog.slsbearings.com/difference-between-single-row-and-double-row-ball-bearing-units)
August 10, 2022 by [SLS](https://blog.slsbearings.com/author/slsbearings)
A ball bearings is a rolling-element bearing that relies on balls to keep the bearing races apart. A ball bearing's job is to decrease rotational friction while also supporting radial and axial stresses. Ball bearings have been around for hundreds of years and have been utilized in various applications — intended to accommodate thrust and radial stresses in everything from hard drives to skateboards. On the other hand, ball bearings are also often used in situations with lower pressures.

## [How to Choose the Right Bearing for Your Machine Application](https://blog.slsbearings.com/how-to-choose-the-right-bearing-for-your-machine-application)
November 16, 2021 by [SLS](https://blog.slsbearings.com/author/slsbearings)
Equipment that requires frictionless power transmission needs a specially chosen bearing that is able to handle its operations environment. The bearing selection process takes careful consideration at many angles all the way from the load type in the mechanical operation to the maintenance required to ensure its efficient running. As a bearing supplier in Singapore, SLS has everything you need to know about choosing the right bearing for your machine application, whether you need a frictionless\[...\]

October 27, 2021 by [SLS](https://blog.slsbearings.com/author/slsbearings)
Precision is the key to minimizing friction in transmission, and bearing lubrication is the answer to ensuring the rolling component keeps on rolling. There are many reasons for bearing failure, from overloading to improper mounting. But lubrication can also be a contributor when using the wrong type, applying it incorrectly or not providing the correct preventative maintenance. To learn more about bearing failure and its reasons, read our other blog “What Causes Roller Bearings to Fail and\[...\]

## [Why You Should Invest in High Quality Bearings | SLS Bearings](https://blog.slsbearings.com/why-you-should-invest-in-high-quality-bearings)
September 07, 2021 by [SLS](https://blog.slsbearings.com/author/slsbearings)
Bearings are precision components with a crucial role in manufacturing, so knowing how to find quality bearings in Singapore is vital. Being tasked with ensuring minimal friction between constant moving parts can heavily wear on small components like the bearing. And, whether you choose ball bearings or roller bearings to suit your transmission loads, the quality of your bearings will still be critical to reducing downtime and ensuring the continued running of your machinery. Being the leading\[...\]
