Ball bearing is a type of rolling element bearing that uses balls to maintain the separation between the bearing races.

And your point in this thread is ?

Freedom to write .....India is great.

What the....!

On the 14th of Oct 1943, the Eighth Air Force, comprising the 91st, 92nd, 305th, 306th and 379th Bomb Groups attacked Schweinfurt in Germany with 350 bombers in an attempt to knock out the ball bearing factories situated there. This infamous raid has been a blot on the USAAF in the fact that they lost 77 bombers with a loss of nearly 600 airmen killed on that day. Consequently, due to the high attrition, this attack was nicknamed 'Black Thursday'.

So much for the Ball Bearing and its significance.

also, an old RC rule: Those who build beautiful fly like crap; those who build like crap, fly beautifully. The ball bearings have its own significance while building and while flying.

I must be a 'beautiful' builder.

Me too 

Ball bearing is a type of rolling element bearing that uses balls to maintain the separation between the bearing races.the main purpose of  ball bearing is to reduce rotational friction and support radial and axial loads.

1.For Axial loads you use Roller bearing, for example, in a jet engine (may be in a RC jet too) the centre support bearing is always roller, while the front support bearing mostly is ball.

2. also ball bearing is used where there is a little bit of longitudal play (by design) on the motor shaft.

3. Usually roller bearing work under low temp regions while ball bearings work at high temp regions,

4. lubrication oil of the roller bearing is retrieved and resued while the last stage ball bearing oil is lost to the atmoshphere.

so much for your bearing on balls and its uses in RC jets 

Balls, Shaft, Play, Lubrication, high temp - what are you getting at rcpilotacro?

Anwar Sahab, please feel free to edit / delete this post - my apologies in advance. He started it, I only connected the dots.

I am loving this thread....~! 

let me chip in with some practical experience

for axial load on one direction - use a taper roller bearing

roller bearings are used to accomodate axial play - this way
the shaft can move a couple of mm either way while the bearing
housing is fixed.

for the most flexible - use double row taper roller bearing - can be used
where machining is imprecise and fits have too much tolerance , and can work under
great load.

all the above are from pratical experience of machinery ranging from .25 hp to 300 hp
and rpms ranging from 45 rpm to 15000 rpm

guys in which direction are we running.
totally aimless and baseless.
and sheetal(if u are) i think u are the first female i saw on this forum
