Hersey's original formula uses the rotational speed (revolutions per unit time) for N and the load per projected area (i.e. the product of a journal bearing's length and diameter) for P. Alternatively, the Hersey number is the dimensionless number obtained from the velocity (m/s) times the dynamic viscosity (Pa∙s = N∙s/m2), divided by the ...
Spiral groove bearings were used most successfully in inertial gyroscopes for planes and ships. [9] In this application, the spiral groove bearings were made of boron carbide ceramic and the grooves were manufactured by ION beam. The bearings were very successful, with MTBF values over 100,000 hours and stop-start capability of 1,000,000 times ...
If an integral bearing wears out, the item may be replaced or reworked to accept a bushing. Integral bearings were very common in 19th-century machinery, but became progressively less common as interchangeable manufacture became popular. For example, a common integral plain bearing is the hinge, which is both a thrust bearing and a journal bearing.
Barbells range in length from 1.2 metres (4 ft) to above 2.4 metres (8 ft), although bars longer than 2.2 metres (7.2 ft) are used primarily by powerlifters and are not commonplace. The central portion of the bar varies in diameter from 25 millimetres (0.98 in) to 50 millimetres (1.96 in) (e.g., Apollon's Axle), and is often engraved with a ...

A stave bearing is a simple journal bearing where a shaft rotates in a bearing housing. Rather than the usual arrangement where the fixed part of the bearing surrounds most of the circumference of the shaft in one or two pieces, a stave bearing uses a large number of axial staves to support the shaft. A large housing is made with grooves ...
MORGOIL bearings provided higher load capacities, higher speed capabilities, lower power consumption, and longer life than existing bearing choices [2] MORGOIL bearings are totally enclosed, precision journal bearings that operate on a hydrodynamically generated film of oil. This oil film has a very high load-carrying capacity, and since there ...
S is the Sommerfeld Number or bearing characteristic number r is the shaft radius c is the radial clearance μ is the absolute viscosity of the lubricant N is the speed of the rotating shaft in rev/s P is the load per unit of projected bearing area. The second part of the equation is seen to be the Hersey number.
