| The behaviour of a classical journal bearing with hydrodynamic lubrication can be investigated with the apparatus TM 290. The experimental capability ranges from the measurement of friction torque under load, to determine the pressure distribution in a journal bearing, to plot a locus curve of a journal and to determine the bearing attitude for different conditions of load and speed. The radial load of max. 500N is adjusted manually with a hand wheel. The drive is an asynchronous motor with frequency converter. All variables (speed, load, friction torque, oil supply pressure, oil peak pressure, oil temperature, X-displacement, Y-displacement) are indicated on 4-digit displays. Five different journals are used to examine bearing clearance. X and Y positions are measured using inductive displacement sensors. The friction torque is measured by means of a lever arm equipped with an electronic force sensor. |

Learning Objectives / Experiments |
- Determination of the coefficient of friction at various
loads and speeds (also refer and compare to
Stribeck curves)
- Influence of speed, bearing clearance and bearing
load on the center of the journal
- Influence of speed, bearing load and lubricant on
the friction torque
- Locus curve of a journal |
