Bearings support shafts and allow for stable, smooth rotation. There are two main types - sliding contact bearings which have higher friction, and rolling contact bearings which have balls or rollers to reduce friction. Shaft couplings join two shafts to transmit power between them, and can be rigid, flexible, disengaging, or non-aligned depending on the shaft alignment and whether power needs to be engaged or disengaged. Packings, gaskets, and seals are used to control leakage of fluids or gases through mechanical clearances when the contained material is under pressure or vacuum.

- Sliding contact bearings (ổ đỡ trượt) : Rotating shaft has a sliding contact with the bearing, the friction is relatively high, require more lubrication. + Journal bearings: When the load on a bearing is perpendicular (normal) to the shaft axis, term ‘journal’, refers to part of shaft contact with bearing + Thrust bearings: Support shafts subjected to axial loads. Classified into: pivot or foot-step bearings and collar bearings. '- Rolling contact bearings (Ổ lăn) : rolling friction is present. As rolling friction is very much less than sliding friction, also antifriction bearings.Consists of four parts: inner race, outer race, balls or rollers and a cage or retainer.The Supports for shafts, providing inner race is fitted tight into the stationary housing. stability, and free and smooth The mounting of a shaft with a ball bearing.

These bearings are sub- shafts in workshops, etc. divided on the basis of the shape of the rolling elements used, viz., ball bearings (ổ bi cầu), roller bearings (ổ đũa) and taper roller bearings (ổ bi côn). + Thrust bearings: Support shafts subjected to axial loads. In general,balls as rolling elements are used in these bearings and rollers only in special cases.

having collinear axes. Classified into muff or sleeve couplings and flanged couplings. - Flexible couplings: Perfect alignment of two shafts is impossible to achieve and difficult to maintain, because of inevitable bearing wear and other reasons. To overcome the trouble, flexible couplings are employed. These permit relative rotation or variation in the alignment of shaft axes within certain limits. - Disengaging couplings: Power transmission from one shaft to another is intermittent. With this, Join/ connect two shafts in such a the shafts can be engaged or disengaged as and way that when both the shafts rotate, when required, even during rotation. A dis- they act as one unit and transmit engaging coupling in general consists of one part power from one shaft to the other. firmly fixed to the driving shaft and another one Shafts to be connected or coupled mounted with provision for sliding over the driven may have collinear axes, intersecting shaft.

Based on the requirements, disengage from the rotating driving shaft. The the shaft couplings are classified as: following are the examples of dis-engaging (i) rigid couplings, (ii) flexible couplings. couplings, (iii) loose or dis-engaging - Non-aligned couplings: Transmit power couplings and (iv) non-aligned between two shafts which are not coaxial. The couplings. following are the examples of non-aligned couplings: Materials used to control or stop leakage of fluids (liquids and/or gases) or of solid dry products through mechanical clearances when PACKINGS, 3 the contained material is under GASKETS, AND SEALS pressure or vacuum. The mechanical clearances to be sealed may be between either fixed or moving components.
