Sliding surface bearings are often divided into two basic categories: journal bearings and thrust bearings. Journal bearings are designed to handle radial loads and thrust bearings are designed to handle axial loads. Some bearings can handle both axial and thrust loads. This course will discuss the different types of sliding surface bearings and how they are lubricated.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• List and describe the different types of sliding surface bearings
• List and describe different bearing materials
• Define film lubrication
• Describe various ways to lubricate sliding surface bearings
