Understanding Journal BearingsMalcolm E. Leader, Machinery Dynamics , ColoradoABSTRACTThis paper covers the basic aspects of Journal Bearings including lubrication, design and application. Descriptions ofvarious types of Journal Bearings are presented. Guidance is given for choosing the proper bearing type and keeping yourbearings healthy. A section on do s and don ts gives practical are used to prevent friction between parts during relative movement. In machinery they fall into two primarycategories: anti-friction or rolling element Bearings and hydrodynamic Journal Bearings .
example, the typical turbomachinery journal bearing consists of a thin layer of babbitt on steel while a connecting rod bearing may have numerous different layers of copper, steel, nickel, or other metals with a thin layer of babbitt on top. This layering is done for fatigue resistance to the pounding loads encountered in such machinery.
