INCREASING THE LOAD-CARRYING CAPACITY OF PLAIN BEARINGS

The possibility is considered of increasing the load-carrying capacity of plain bearings by deformation under working load. Bending of the bearing liner, resulting from a carefully designed undercutting between the load-carrying surface of the housing and the outer surface of the liner, can increase the extent of the load-bearing oil-film of plain bearings with a large relative clearance to values that correspond to plain bearings with small relative clearance.
