What happens when rod bearings are to tight?
When rod bearing clearance is too tight the end result is what is called a spun bearing -- definitely a bad thing. Bearing clearance is the difference between the inside diameter of the bearing and the outside diameter of the crankshaft journal to which it is clamped. The bearing is supplied pressurized oil fed by the oil pump, it should never touch the crankshaft journal but should always float on a wedge of oil. If the clearance is too tight the bearing touches or drags on the crankshaft journal and the journal grabs the bearing and spins it inside the housing into which it is clamped -- which in the case of a rod bearing is the big end of the connecting rod. Once this happens it all pretty much self destructs as it chews up the big end of the connecting rod and the crankshaft journal as well.
What is another name for rod journal?
bearing journal
What is bearing crush?
Interference between journal bearing to bearing housing is called bearing crush.
Why use journal bearing in turbine?
putting a journal bearing at each end of the turbine rotor or shaft would be to support it.
What is the value of theta for journal bearing?
360o
What is another name for rod?
bearing journal
What is the name of the rounded area at the edge of each bearing journal?
The rounded area at the edge of each bearing journal is called the "fillet." This fillet helps to reduce stress concentrations and allows for smoother transitions between the flat surfaces of the journal and the bearing. Its design contributes to the overall durability and performance of the bearing assembly.

How can you measure bearing?
It depends on the type of bearing, and which measurement. A double race roller bearing is measured on the inside (shaft diameter) with an internal vernier caliper or similar device. On the outside (casing or pillow block diameter) with an external vernier. And the width (or length) of each race can be measured with and external vernier. A babbitt bearing can be measured by measuring the journal on which it is to be mounted, then taking "leads" (or using plastigages), by placing lead fuse wire or a plastigage on the journal, placing the bearing top half over the leads, and bolting down the bearing housing over that. Then unbolt the bearing housing remove the top half the bearing and with a micrometer measure the crushed thickness of the fuse wire. Add this to the journal diameter to get the internal diameter of the bearing. The main reason for taking leads is to determine the oil wedge gap in the bearing to see if it is the right thickness. If it is too thin the bearing needs to be scraped if it is too thick the bearing needs to be replaced or the journal built back up to the correct diameter.
Explain porous journal bearing?
It means that the bearing is made with TINY holes and channels that allow oil to flow through the bearing.
Why journal bearing used in steam turbine?
to support crankshaft
