Learn how root cause analysis and integrated data prevent hydropower bearing failures, reduce costly downtime, and improve ...

Journal bearing design is complex. It involves optimizing clearances, bearing length, minimum film lubricant, viscosity, flow rate, and inlet slots. Design equations are available, but their solution ...

Editor's note: An updated version of this information can be found here. Bearings are used to help reduce friction. Metal-upon-metal contact produces large amounts of friction. The friction adds to ...
