JOURNAL STOPS FOR WAGON-TYPE PLAIN BEARINGS

In a new A.A.R. journal bearing assembly, with all dimensions nominal and journals central laterally, the maximum displacement from impact is 7/16 in. Bronze stops, cap screwed to the side wall of the journal box to prevent displacement of the journal out of its bearing were considered the most practicable means to achieve the desired stabilization. The increased bearing life obtained with the journal stops is principally because of reduced end wear and the elimination of spread linings.
