• Large bearings need help to generate a lubricating oil film at low speeds. • Pockets in journal and thrust bearings supplied with pressurized lubricant provide hydraulic lift. • Optimize pocket ...

The Michell principle for bearing film lubrication was patented by Anthony G.M. Michell in 1905. It involves supplying a cohesive lubricant between two mating surfaces, accounting for the mechanical ...

Michell Bearings has successfully completed station blackout (SBO) tests on a thrust and guide bearing used within the reactor coolant pump at a new build nuclear power plant. In what is thought to be ...

The primary job of an engine bearing is to establish a low-friction interface for a rotating shaft. Most bearings today are half-round assemblies used around crankshafts, for example. While you might ...
