About This Product
The model illustrates hydrodynamic lubrication in a slide bearing. By running the journal at different speeds under different weights, students record both the radial and the axial pressure distribution in the bearing gap and work out the load-carrying capacity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is pressure measured?
At 12 measuring points around the bearing perimeter and four along its length, so both radial and axial pressure distribution can be recorded. Readings are shown on 16 tube manometers mounted on a board.
Why is the housing transparent?
So the shifting of the bearing journal in operation can be seen as clearly as possible; the model also has a large gap for the same reason.
Can it be moved between rooms?
The system is mounted on a rolling support and suits demonstration as well as laboratory experiments.
