LUBRICATION OF A CROSSHEAD-PIN BEARING IN A TWO-STROKE CYCLE ENGINE

A crosshead-pin bearing equipped with axial oil grooves in a two-stroke cycle diesel engine cannot form an oil film adequate to keep the bearing trouble free at all times, because the bearing is subjected to high load in a single direction besides a low oscillating speed. This paper refers to a theoretical analysis of the lubrication of a crosshead-pin bearing system with a circular journal and an elliptical bearing. The superior in load-carrying capacity and oil-film exchanging ability to the conventional bearing.
