A Ball Bearing is a type of bearing used in fans and pumps within water cooling kits. This component ensures the smooth rotation of moving parts, utilizing small steel balls to reduce friction. Thanks to this design, ball bearings generally have a longer lifespan and tolerate higher operating temperatures better compared to simpler plain bearings. Fans equipped with these bearings can be installed in any position, whether vertically or horizontally, without affecting their function or lifespan. Their operation may in some cases be slightly noisier than that of other bearing types.
