Fluid film thrust and journal bearings should provide plant operators with years of worry-free operation. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Too often, premature bearing failure results in ...

Bushings and bearings are crucial automotive components. They’re critical parts of a car’s suspension and chassis and many of them are installed via press fit, which isn’t a journalist’s workout ...

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 ...

Keeping thrust bearings cool is a matter of design with a different cooling strategy for each type of thrust bearing. • Lowering oil temperature can extend the life of thrust bearings. • Tapered ...

Q: I just installed a 305 engine into my '86 El Camino. When I went to install the bolts on the torque converter, I pried it a little with a screwdriver until it mated with the flexplate and the ...
