Journal bearing design is complex. It involves optimizing clearances, bearing length, minimum film lubricant, viscosity, flow rate, and inlet slots. Design equations are available, but their solution ...

An experimental technique has been developed to measure the minimum oil film thickness of dynamically loaded journal bearings. Inductive transducers were used to measure the motion of the journal ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract An asymptotic expansion in terms of small δ = 1-e, where e is the eccentricity, is constructed for the pressure distribution inside a finite ...

Tilting pad journal bearings are used in turbomachinery such as turbo compressors, turbo gears, gas turbines, or steam turbines. There is an ongoing and growing customer demand for bearings with ...

Where there are moving parts, you’ll often find bearings. The goal of a bearing, in short, is to affect the system as minimally as possible—absorb minimal energy, wear slowly, and cost as little as ...

A new tapered bearing assembly, developed specifically for roller-cone rock bits, significantly increased bit life for a Middle Eastern operator. This technology can help oil and gas customers avert ...
