conformability
The bearing should have ability to yield and should
adopt according to shape of the journal.
The dirt particles in lubricant tried to jam in the
Application:
Used in the bearings in the form of
Strip or thin lining about 0.5 mm thick
Applied to the steel shells as shown in
Figure
Babbit Material
Advantages:
Excellent conformability
Excellent Embeddability
Limitations:
High cost and shortage of tin
Babbits are inherently weak and strength decreases
rapidly with increase in temperature.
Poor fatigue strength.
White metals
There are 10 grades of white metals which are used for
typical applications
Grade 90, 84, 75,69, 60, 20, 10, 6, 5
Other materials :
Bronze is cheaper as compared to the babbit, stronger
and can with stand high pressures.
copper- lead (70% Cu- 30% Pb) used in engine bearings
like as a liners
Aluminum alloys, and plastics as a bearing materials.
Rolling contact Bearing
Types of bearings based on rolling element:
