A bearing is a relatively inexpensive replaceable wear surface, which reduces friction between rotating shafts and fixed housings. The intent is for bearings to protect more expensive parts, of an engine such as the crankshaft and camshaft as well as the engine block and connecting rods. In addition, bearings must also support the moving parts. This requires that bearings be capable of withstanding very high loads which are constantly changing in magnitude and direction. These are commonly referred to as cyclic loads which may eventually result in bearing lining fatigue or flaking if the bearing material does not have adequate fatigue strength. 2, record 2, English, - main%20bearing%20lining

coussinet : Douille cylindrique, généralement en bronze, parfois garnie de métal antifriction, qui permet, après un frottement doux, la rotation de l'axe qu'elle supporte.(Les coussinets sont souvent composés de deux ou plusieurs pièces, celles-ci pouvant éventuellement être rapprochées les unes des autres par le serrage d’écrous, afin de compenser l'usure résultant du frottement.) 2, record 2, French, - coussinet%20du%20palier%20principal

Bearing alloys ... are used for metals that encounter sliding contact under pressure with another surface; the steel of a rotating shaft is a common example. Most bearing alloys contain particles of a hard intermetallic compound that resist wear. These particles, however, are embedded in a matrix of softer material which adjusts to the hard particles so that the shaft is uniformly loaded over the total surface. 2, record 3, English, - bearing%20alloy
