Bearing
A bearing allows for easier motion by reducing unnecessary friction between two surfaces. Metal-on-metal contact is abrasive and causes material degradation. Bearings allow the two surfaces to roll over each other, instead of grinding against each other. Bearings use a smooth ball or roller that rolls against an inner and outer surface. The ball or roller takes on the weight of the load, allowing the device to spin.
Bushing
A plain bearing, also known as bushing, is a mechanical element used to reduce friction between rotating shafts and stationary support members. Typically, bushing relies on soft metal or plastic and an oil film to support the rotating shaft on the hardened shaft journal. Plain bearings are used primarily in machinery that has a rotating or a sliding shaft component. Also called journal bearing, sleeve bearings, or sliding bearings, plain bearings have no rolling elements.
