SAIT IP REVIEW Flashcards
The basic purpose of a bearing is:
To support moving shafts and ways
Compared to the hardness of shaft journals, plain bearing hardness should be more, or less?
Less
Plain journal bearings help;
maintain shaft alignment

The lubricant groove of plain journal bearing should be located in the area of;
least pressure
A plain journal bearing material does not need;
high hardness
The characteristics ability of a plain journal bearing material to absorb dirt or other particles is referred to as its;
Embeddability
What do you look for when determining if a bearing should be repaired or replaced?
