Sliding Contact Bearing
Based on Nature of contacting surface bearing are classified into two groups
(1) Rolling Contact Bearing in which a rolling element are provided between the
contacting surfaces.
(2) Sliding Contact Bearing in which contacting surfaces make a sliding contact
and/or are separated by a film of lubricant
SLIDING CONTACT BEARINGS CLASSIFICATION
Classification of sliding contact bearings:
1. Based on type of load carried.
2. Based on type of lubrication.
3. Based on lubrication mechanism.

This value is greater than the minimum value (29.01) given in Table 15.11. So safe.
Heat generated is greater than heat dissipated then artificial cooling required
8. Minimum oil film thickness (h0)

A fully journal bearing of 50mm diameter and 100mm length has bearing pressure of 1.4
N/mm2. The speed of journal is 900rpm and ratio of journal diameter to the diametral clearance
is 1000. The lubricating oil used has absolute viscosity at operating temperature of 750C is
0.011kg/m-s. The room temperature is 350C. Determine the amount of artificial cooling required
and the mass of lubricating oil required if the difference between outlet and inlet temperature
of the oil is 100C.Take specific heat of the oil is 1850 J/kg/0C.
A journal bearing has a journal diameter of 50mm and diameter of bushing is 50.1mm. the
bushing is 50mm long and has to support a load of 1kN at a speed of 1200rpm. Determine the
minimum film thickness and power loss for SAE 10 oil, assuming the oil film temperature to be
700C.
SLIDING CONTACT BEARINGS
ADVANTAGES
1. The design of the bearing and housing is simple.
2. They occupy less radial space and are more compact.
3. They cost less.
4. The design of shaft is simple.
5. They operate more silently.
6. They have good shock load capacity.
7. They are ideally suited for medium and high speed operation.
DISADVANTAGES
1. The frictional power loss is more.
2. They required good attention to lubrication.
3. They are normally designed to carry radial load or axial load only.
Requirement Properties of Sliding Contact Bearing Materials
1. Compressive strength.
2. Fatigue strength
3. Comformability: It is the ability of the bearing material to accommodate shaft deflections and
bearing inaccuracies by plastic deformation (or creep) without excessive wear and heating.
4. Embeddability: It is the ability of bearing material to accommodate (or embed) small particles
of dust, grit etc., without scoring the material of the journal
5. Bondability
6. Corrosion resistance
7. Thermal conductivity
8. Thermal expansion
Materials used for Sliding Contact Bearings
1. Babbit metal
Tin base babbits : Tin 90% ; Copper 4.5% ; Antimony 5% ; Lead 0.5%.
Lead base babbits : Lead 84% ; Tin 6% ; Anitmony 9.5% ; Copper 0.5%.
2. Bronzes (alloys of copper, tin and zinc)
The phosphor bronze (Copper 80% ; Tin 10% ; Lead 9% ; Phosphorus 1%)
3. Cast iron.
4. Silver
5. Non-metallic bearings
LUBRICANT PROPERTIES
Properties of a good lubricant :
1. It should give rise to low friction.
2. It should adhere to the surface and reduce the wear.
3. It should protect the system from corrosion.
4. It should have good cleaning effect on the surface.
5. It should carry away as much heat from the surface as possible.
6. It should have thermal and oxidative stability.
7. It should have good thermal durability.
8. It should have antifoaming ability.
9. It should be compatible with seal materials.
10. It should be cheap and available in plenty.

The thrust of propeller shaft in a marine engine is taken up by a number of collars integral with
the shaft which is 300 mm is diameter. The thrust on the shaft is 200 kN and the speed is
75 r.p.m. Taking constant and equal to 0.05 and assuming the bearing pressure as uniform and
equal to 0.3 N/mm2, find : 1. Number of collars required, 2. Power lost in friction, and 3. Heat
generated at the bearing in kJ/min.
