Morphology
The phrase simply names a material used in a bearing: combining 'bearing' (a part that enables smooth rotation) with 'brass' (a metal) yields 'brass used for a bearing or bearing lining.' This noun+material composition is straightforward and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the intended technical meaning.
Etymology
Bearing brass comes from two simple ideas: bearing, a support that lets something turn, and brass, a yellow metal. It means 'a brass ring that fits around a moving rod to help it turn smoothly', so the phrase literally describes the metal lining used in a bearing.
