Abstract

"The purpose of this investigation was to design, construct, and calibrate a journal bearing testing apparatus. The design, construction, and operation of the apparatus are described.

Two bronze bearings with length to diameter ratios of 1.0 and 0.5 were tested using a gravity oil reed system. The speed and the location of inlet oil supply were varied, and the resulting coefficients or friction, oil flow rates, outlet oil temperatures, bearing shell temperatures, and eccentricities of the bearings were determined. These results were evaluated and compared with theoretical solutions.

The results compared favorably with the theoretical solutions and substantiated the use of the apparatus as a bearing testing machine"--Abstract p. ii
