PERFOMANCE CHARACTERISITICS OF PHOSPHOR BRONZE JOURNAL BEARING WORKING WITH VARIOUS CONDITIONS

Mechanical Engineering

Bearings for sugar mills are known to withstand high loads and low speed operation. The temperature rise of plain bearings in a sugar factory was analyzed. The cause of the temperature rise in the bearing is identified by simulating the operating conditions and performing commissioning in a plain bearing test rig that takes into account a combination of operating conditions. Insufficient supply of internal lubricant can lead to plain bearing failure. This affects the production costs of the industry and can also endanger human lives. A temperature rise was detected in the warehouse of a sugar factory. When working in the polluted environment of the sugar industry. Therefore, an experimental study was conducted on phosphor bronze (PB) plain bearings lubricated with oil with different flow rates. In the experiment, it was found that the PB journal bearing performed better when the oil flow rate was Q3. However, it is advised that oil be used as a lubricant with a Q3 flow rate over the long term because the bearing performs best under it.
