Abstract
A new type of disk-lubricated bearing runs developed for use on heavy duty fans. The bearing is self-contained and requires no external source of lubricant supply. Performance tests were made on two bearing sizes, 125 mm (4.92 in.) and 254 mm (10 in.) diameter, for various bearing clearances, journal speeds, and loads. Both radial load alone and combinations of radial and thrust loads were imposed. Good correlation was obtained between the tests and the results predicted by a theoretical analysis. Many field applications have confirmed the reliability of the bearing. Presented at the 32nd Annual Meeting in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, May 9–12, 1977
