In high speed, high load fluid-film bearings, the laminar-turbulent flow transition can lead to a considerable reduction of the maximum bearing temperatures, due to a homogenization of the fluid-film temperature in radial direction. Since this phenomenon only occurs significantly in large bearings...

This case history discusses the upgrade of the #1 combination journal/thrust bearing assembly in an 80 MW turbine generator. The existing taper land thrust plates experienced frequent failures and the sleeve journal bearing was wearing prematurely....

In a variety of 4-lobe journal bearing applications, hydrostatic lifting is used to prevent damage during the start-up or run-out phase. The design of hydrostatic pockets depends very much on the operating conditions and the geometry of the bearing. However, the efficiency/performance ratio can...

Sleeve bearings (sometimes called bushings, journal bearings or plain bearings) facilitate linear movement between two parts. Sleeve bearings consist of a metal, plastic or fiber-reinforced composite sleeves that reduce vibrations and noise by absorbing friction between two moving parts using...

Technically a bushing is a type of bearing. Plain bearings, sleeve bearings, journal bearings and bushings are considered the same thing for practical purposes. Bushings, sleeve, plain and journal bearings are known as friction bearings....

Tilting pad fluttering is a well-known phenomenon in journal and thrust bearings. The contact between the pad and the rotor can lead to bearing damage and, in the case of journal bearings, trigger subsynchronous rotor vibration with high amplitudes. Numerous approaches exist to solve the problem...

...but bearing life will be compromised and for these applications journal bearings provide a more robust solution....

Samsung reportedly mulls purchase of LSI Logic fab LSI Logic is working with city and state government agencies in Oregon to help lure South Korean electronics giant Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. to the state, according to a report by the Portland Business Journal. IBM, amid layoffs, scours globe...
