Abstract
An analysis of a journal bearing describing a maximum allowable value of misalignment at a length to diameter ratio of unity is presented. The journal misalignment is allowed to vary in direction up to a direction normal to the axial plane containing the load vector. The results demonstrate that journal misalignment influences bearing behaviour. For the same load carrying capacity, a misaligned bearing consumes more power due to friction than an aligned one. An optimum position of misalignment has been found to be almost along the axial plane containing the load vector since it produces lower frictional losses and less lubricant leakage than any other.
