Rolling bearings are considered as the inspection monitor for the performance of machines. There are many parameters affecting the performance of this type of bearings, including type of rolling bearings, applied loads (radial or axial), type of lubricating medium, type of mounting fits between the bearing and its shaft (and housing) and the temperature of the environment. The study of this paper has focused on investigating the effect of mounting fits on bearing performance.

The school is a place where children stay for a relatively long period of their lives and where dental injuries can occur. Teachers have the potential to play an important role in preventing this disorder as well as in its early care.
