MD-1 Bearings

The document contains two word problems involving journal bearings. The first asks to calculate the horsepower loss in a bearing supporting a 1400 kg radial load rotating at 1000 rpm with a coefficient of friction of 0.012. The second asks to calculate the unit pressure a bearing should operate at 600 rpm given its properties operating satisfactorily at 520 rpm with a pressure of 12 kg/cm^2.

1. A journal bearing 55 mm in diameter and 25 mm long supports a radial load of 1400 kg.

If the
coefficient of friction is 0.012 and the journal rotates at 1000 rpm, find the horsepower loss in
the bearing.

2. A 78 mm bearing using oil with an absolute viscosity of 0.70 poise running at 520 rpm gives
satisfactory operation with a bearing pressure of 12 𝑘𝑔/𝑐𝑚2. The bearing clearance is 0.130 mm.
Find the unit pressure at which the bearing should operate if the speed is changed to 600 rpm in
