Description Ball bearings are often used in car engines because they are inexpensive and can operate at high speeds. They are also used in many industrial applications. The balls are made from hard steel and are loaded into a housing. The inside surface of the housing is lined with a polished surface. The balls are able to roll in the housing without touching the surface. This is because the balls are separated from the surface by a thin film of oil.
