The Journal Bearing Apparatus is a precision-engineered educational and research instrument designed to demonstrate the fundamental principles of journal bearing friction, pressure distribution, and lubrication. Ideal for mechanical and tribology labs, this apparatus provides a hands-on experience in understanding bearing performance under varying load and speed conditions.
Key Features:
Robust and durable design for long-lasting academic use.
Clear acrylic cover for safe observation of bearing operation.
Adjustable load and speed controls for performance variation.
Equipped with a precision journal, bearing sleeve, and oil bath system.
Includes pressure sensors and digital readouts (optional) to study pressure distribution in the lubricant film.
Capable of visualizing oil film behavior and cavitation zones.
