The word “prehistory”, in its general technical sense, can refer to a description of the dynamic states of an object, taking into account the states preceding the moment under consideration. This is ...

Peer-reviewed research by Thordon Bearings into the hydrodynamic lubrication efficiency of a ship’s propeller shaft bearing has found that the use of seawater-lubricated elastomeric polymer bearings ...

The paper proposes a novel nano bearing formed by the physical adsorption of the confined fluid to the solid wall. The bearing is formed between two parallel smooth solid plane walls sliding against ...

This schematic shows a 12-MW, 9,500-rpm induction motor with oil-film bearings that drives an oil-pipeline pump. Like other high-speed machines, it has a specialty rotor, reinforced bearing housing, ...

The Michell principle for bearing film lubrication was patented by Anthony G.M. Michell in 1905. It involves supplying a cohesive lubricant between two mating surfaces, accounting for the mechanical ...
