Abstract

The purpose of this work was to examine the tribological issues related to failure of heavily loaded split journal bearings sugarcane crushing mills. . It was also identified that hydrodynamic fluid film was not formed due to low speed of journal. Regime of lubrication for such journal bearings is thin film lubrication. In such situations journal and bearing surface has physical contact and adhesive or abrasive wear may occur. For such situations grease lubrication can be adopted for journal bearings. Suitability of Lithium Grease with additives as lubricant for sugarcane crushing mills is verified using four ball tester machine.

Keywords: Split journal bearings, Four ball tester, ASTM D 2266, ASTM D 2596
