Abstract
Any machinery's ability to produce effectively depends on the bearings that support the journal that transmits power and performs useful work. Knowing about a sliding contact bearing's behaviour and necessary operating conditions is crucial because it lacks a rolling element, which might make it easier for specialists to maintain industrial machinery. This article primarily focuses on the fundamental concepts and criteria for the operating environment, which become crucial when a very thin layer of lubricant of the order of 1000 parts per thousand of the journal diameter is needed. Along with having a basic understanding of sliding contact bearings, it's important to learn more about the components and potential reasons for failure of these kinds of bearings. This study also includes an experiment in which the authors discover that a tiny hole in the journal face along its axis extends the bearing's life by preventing metal-to-metal contact during journal starting and stopping and, as a result, lowers the bearing's operating temperature.
