What are the considerations for sliding bearing design?

Update:19-02-2022
Summary:

Sliding bearings are in surface contact, so a certain oil film should be maintained between the contact surfaces. Therefore, the following issues should be paid attention to when designing:


1. Make sure that the oil film can smoothly enter the friction surface.

2. The oil should enter the bearing from the non-load bearing surface area.

3. Do not make the full ring oil groove open in the middle of the bearing.

4, such as oil tiles, open oil ditch at the seam.

5. The oil supply of the oil ring should be sufficiently reliable.

6. Do not block the refueling hole.

7. Do not form an oil stagnant zone.

8. Prevent sharp edges and corners that cut off the oil film.
