A piston's function is to draw the air/fuel mixture into the cylinder, compress it into a more dense mixture, and then transfer the heat energy and pressure of the combustion process to the crankshaft ...

• Sleeve bearings in moderate service can operate on 50% or less of the oil feed required for a full hydrodynamic oil film. • Lower oil-feed rates mean engineers can simplify oil-delivery systems. • ...

ABSTRACT Turbochargers improve performance in internal combustion engines. Due to low production costs, TC assemblies are supported on floating ring bearings. In current lubrication analysis of ...

Feed holes or grooves typically locate in the top half of a bearing which is characterized by large annular clearances and low internal oil pressures. In split bearings, two grooves are placed at the ...

Industrial downtime is often caused by defective bearings. Studies show that about 80% of all bearing damage is owing to insufficient or incorrect lubrication. This is associated with overheating, ...
