minimum friction, and also prevent the motion in the direction of the
applied load
The sliding contact bearings having surface contact and are coming under
housing is simple
They occupy less radial space
The design of shaft is simple
They operate silently
They have good shock load
capacity
They are ideally suited for medium
Disadvantages
The frictional power loss is more
They require good attention to
lubrication
They are normally designed for radial or
axial loads

JOURNAL/SLEEVE BEARING
Among the sliding contact bearings radial bearings find wide applications in
industries and hence these bearings are dealt in more detail here
Depending on the extent to which the bearing envelops the journal, these
