Although performance bearings aren't the first thing you think of when defining the specifications for a high-performance engine, and they probably won't do much to increase engine output, they are ...

A typical crankshaft is made up of a series of main journals that support the crank in the block and a series of rod journals offset from the crank centerline that are affixed to the connecting rods ...

At the heart of your powerplant is the crankshaft, and this baby not only has to endure the entire rotating mass, but it is subjected to countless spin cycles at varying rpm. It's a tough life, which ...

Journal bearing design is complex. It involves optimizing clearances, bearing length, minimum film lubricant, viscosity, flow rate, and inlet slots. Design equations are available, but their solution ...

Where there are moving parts, you’ll often find bearings. The goal of a bearing, in short, is to affect the system as minimally as possible—absorb minimal energy, wear slowly, and cost as little as ...
