Selected Properties of Bearings with Helical Groove on the Journal

Abstract:

The paper presents results of tests concerning slide bearing with helical groove on the journal selected properties. It has been stated that during lubrication with contaminated oil helical groove results in wear decrease. On the other hand while lubricating agent was clean oil helical groove results in load carrying capacity decrease and oil flow rate increase. The proposition of non-dimensional index describing the groove and helical line is also presented in the paper. This index is correlated with bearing characteristics and its wear
