A full journal bearing is 28 long. The shaft journal has a diameter of 56 with a unilateral
tolerance of 0.012 . The bushing bore has a diameter of 56.05 with a unilateral tolerance of
0.012 . The load is 2.4 and the journal speed is 900 / . For the minimum clearance
assembly find the minimum oil-film thickness, the power loss, and the side flow if the operating
temperature is 65° and 40 lubricating oil is used.
Solution:
The dimension is the radial clearance and is the difference in the radii Given:
of the bushing bore diameter and the shaft journal diameter as 56.0
