Fluid film thrust and journal bearings should provide plant operators with years of worry-free operation. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Too often, premature bearing failure results in ...

Bushings and bearings are crucial automotive components. They’re critical parts of a car’s suspension and chassis and many of them are installed via press fit, which isn’t a journalist’s workout ...

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 ...
