When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Like shielded bearings, sealed ball bearings have the same
boundary dimensions as those of the open type bearings.
Sealed ball bearings also have the function of keeping foreign
matter out and grease in with a seal.
..
Seals consisting of synthetic rubber molded to a steel plate
are incorporated into the outer rings of these ball bearings.

Note 1: A pneumatic train brake contains a lot of different devices, ranging from compressor over container, pipes and valves to piston and braking shoes or similar. Much of these devices have movable parts inside and needs bearings and seals for functioning.
