Journal Bearing Apparatus

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.
