Tribology, the science of friction, lubrication and wear, is fundamental for designing robust interfaces in mechanical systems. In the context of journal bearings—critical components supporting ...

A simple one-piece sleeve is sometimes better for reducing friction than complex rolling-element bearings. Besides being greaseless, journal bearings can be made out of high-tech plastics for weight ...

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 ...

In North American interchange, journal roller bearings removed from an axle, whether for bearing-, wheel- or axle-related ...

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 ...

Avon Bearing Corp., which is composed of three buildings, will add 15,000 square feet to its production facility building, bringing the company’s total to 100,000 square feet, president John Walsh ...
