ME 4133 Chapter : Journal Bearing Lab Report Equipment And Procedure
Document Summary
Instrumentation to measure the pressure around the bearings (manometer tube equipment) Dead weights to adjust the load on the bearing. Weight of each movable load = 0. 22 lb. Lubricant"s density = 0. 0282 lb/in3: select the direction of rotation of the motor by turning the switch provided for this purpose. Measure the speed of rotation of the shaft. Observe and comment about the pressure distribution around the bearing: using the strobe light set the journal speed to 1200 rpm. (make sure to periodically check this speed as it may increase during the course of the experiment. )
