    ACBG - Airframe Control Bearings Group of the Society of Automotive Engineers
    Age Hardening - Material hardening by aging
    Aging - Change in the properties of a material that occurs at moderately elevated temperatures after hot working or heat treatment.
    Air Bearing - Air cushion devices that are used to quot;floatquot; heavy loads on a thin film of air
    AISI - American Iron and Steel Institute, a standards organization.
    Annealing - A type of heat treatment often used to soften a material. Annealing involves heating material to a specific temperature, holding it at that temperature for a known length of time, then cooling slowly to room temperature.
    Annulus - In a rolling element bearing, the space between the inner and outer raceways
    ANSI - American National Standards Institute, a standards organization
    Armology - A hard plating applied to bearings for wear resistance
    Austeniting - The breakdown of steel's ferrite and cementite structure.Partial austeniting occurs below the transformation temperature; full austeniting occurs above the transformation temperature.
    Axial Movement - the amount a Bearing's inner race is able to move perpendicular to the outer race and perpendicular to the direction of rotation.
    Ball Bearing - Any rolling bearing which uses balls as the friction reducing elements. There are three general types of ball bearings namely radial, thrust, and angular contact.
    Ball Screw - A linear motion bearing where the inner race is helical. Ball screw assembly consists of a screw with a precision ground or rolled helical groove, a nut with an internal groove, and a circuit of precision steel.
    Bearing - Device used to reduce friction, and constrain motion of mechanical devices along one or more axes. Bearings have three components i.e.an inner race, an outer race (and rolling elements.
    Brinell Hardness Number - The measure of a material's resistance to indentation from a standard hard steel ball,
    Brinelling - The indentation of inner or outer race material caused by the rolling elements. There are two types of brinelling, true brinelling and false brinelling.
    Brinelling - True - The indentation of inner or outer race material caused by the rolling elements. True brinelling is a material deformation of a part and the movement of material due to excessive operating pressure, impact, dropping or hammering.
    Brinelling - False - The indentation of inner or outer race material caused by the rolling elements. False brinelling is a wear issue where the indented material has been worn away
    Cage - Also called Retainer, it is used to space, separate and retain the balls or rollers of a bearing. Cages may be of steel, plastic or brass.
    Carburization / Carburizing - The tendency of a metal at high temperatures to absorb and diffuse carbon atoms throughout its structure. This enables the surface layer to be hardened
    Cementation Coating - Any coating deposited on a metal surface by a high-temperature diffusion process.
    Channeling Grease - A grease formulated so that rolling elements can create a permanent path through it
    Chromizing - A high-temperature metal surface treatment.
    Cold Working - Metalforming, normally at room temperature, under low strain and temperature conditions which induce strain hardening.
    Conrad Bearing - Most common type of ball bearing, it is a nonseparable deep-groove ball bearing, with symmetrical inner and outer raceways. They can be used for radial loads, as well as thrust loads from either direction.

    Full-Complement Bearing - A type of rolling element bearing that has the maximum possible number of rolling elements installed.
