• Sleeve bearings in moderate service can operate on 50% or less of the oil feed required for a full hydrodynamic oil film. • Lower oil-feed rates mean engineers can simplify oil-delivery systems. • ...

When equipment relies on sleeve or journal bearings, the lower the operating temperature, the better. Cooler running extends oil life, reduces differential thermal expansion of the journal, and causes ...

When it comes to assuring that a motor provides consistent service for the longest time possible, it’s important to pay attention to the bearing system. Bearing system failures are one of the most ...
