The journal bearing apparatus (DN – 029) is an educational unit which is designed to investigate the operation of journal bearing and drive the correlations involved with journal bearings experimentally. The unit is composed of electrical motor, radial journal bearing, drip-feed lubricator, mechanical loading device, thermocouple and control unit.
- The control unit contains all the switches necessary to control the unit such as ON/OFF switch, emergency switch, motor speed control switch, and the digital displays as well.
- The unit consists of a drip feed lubricator with specific oil of viscosity grade: ISO VG 32, for continuous lubrication feeding.
- The unit consists of a three-phase electric motor with a variable speed control.
- The motor is loaded using a mechanical lever (loading device). The loading device is made of belt mechanism.
- The load on the motor can be varied by adding weights to the mechanical loading lever.
- The speed of the motor is measured via a proximity sensor.
- The temperature of the lubricating oil is measured at the bearing housing using a
j- type thermocouple.
- The measured rotating speed and lubricant temperature are digitally displayed on the control unit.
- The unit is equipped with box contains 5 kg weights.
- The unit contains balance beam with precise ruler imprinted to simulate different moments applied on the journal bearing.
- The unit is very compact and table top mountable.
