THE EFFECTS OF COMMON VARIATIONS IN DIESEL ENGINE BEARINGS

It is now well-known that not only dimensions but also manufacturing tolerances and layouts of oil holes and grooves affect engine bearing performance. The present paper will show that some new features of machining and operating conditions can also influence bearing operation. Results will also show how out-of-roundness and ellipticity affect bearing operation. This information can be vital for designing better engine bearings.
