The journal bearing test rig is used for experimental research to evaluate the effect of various speeds and loads utilizing two distinct fluids, SAE 30 Ferro Fluid. lubricant mobility on a loaded investigated, metrics such as coefficient friction, load capacities, pressure are calculated better understand nature both lubricants. Three introduced setup at three different rpms: 500, 600, 700. A t...

This article describes the design of a journal bearing test platform capable high-accuracy film thickness measurements via ultrasonic transducers permanently embedded in both and rotating shaft. A bespoke hydraulic loading system with programmable valves allowed application dynamic loads defined patterns, including simulation patterns found real components such as automotive connecting rod bear...
