paliers
Explanation:
Dans ce contexte, ce serait le terme le plus général couvrant les paliers lisses, les paliers à billes, à rouleaux, à aiguilles, etc.

Un terme encore plus "ouvert" serait "supports", mais ici probablement trop général justement.

agree  Didier Fourcot: D'après Larousse "organe mécanique servant à supporter et guider", souvent abréviation de "palier lisse" par opposition aux roulements et butées qui sont des variations de "bearing" en anglais, mais le terme "palier" les inclut

Explanation:
