I Beam Trolley Bearing Type

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the differences between roller bearings and sleeve bearings used in I-beam trolleys. Roller bearings feature four wheels that roll along the bottom base of the I-beam, providing smooth movement. In contrast, sleeve bearings typically involve a different design that may not utilize wheels in the same manner. Visual aids were helpful in clarifying these distinctions for the participants. Understanding these differences is crucial for selecting the appropriate trolley type for specific applications.

I am having trouble finding the difference between and I beam Trolley with a roller bearing and a sleeve bearing?

I know that the roller bearing has 4 wheels that sit on the bottom base of the I Beam and roll back and forth but I am not sure how a sleeve bearing is different from that?

Thanks

I never got to thank you for your help, but those pictures really cleared up the difference between the two bearings.

Thank you
 
Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
