ENGINE BEARING [13 records]

Record 1 2015-03-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Bearings and Bearing Systems (Mechanical Components)
OBS

A bearing is a relatively inexpensive replaceable wear surface, which reduces friction between rotating shafts and fixed housings. The intent is for bearings to protect more expensive parts, of an engine such as the crankshaft and camshaft as well as the engine block and connecting rods.... This requires that bearings be capable of withstanding very high loads which are constantly changing in magnitude and direction. These are commonly referred to as cyclic loads which may eventually result in bearing lining fatigue or flaking if the bearing material does not have adequate fatigue strength.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Bearings and Bearing Systems (Mechanical Components)
  • Lubrication Technology
OBS

A bearing is a relatively inexpensive replaceable wear surface, which reduces friction between rotating shafts and fixed housings. The intent is for bearings to protect more expensive parts, of an engine such as the crankshaft and camshaft as well as the engine block and connecting rods. In addition, bearings must also support the moving parts. This requires that bearings be capable of withstanding very high loads which are constantly changing in magnitude and direction. These are commonly referred to as cyclic loads which may eventually result in bearing lining fatigue or flaking if the bearing material does not have adequate fatigue strength.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Paliers, coussinets et roulements (Composants mécaniques)
  • Tribologie
OBS

coussinet : Douille cylindrique, généralement en bronze, parfois garnie de métal antifriction, qui permet, après un frottement doux, la rotation de l'axe qu'elle supporte. (Les coussinets sont souvent composés de deux ou plusieurs pièces, celles-ci pouvant éventuellement être rapprochées les unes des autres par le serrage d'écrous, afin de compenser l'usure résultant du frottement.)

OBS

palier : Organe servant à supporter et à guider un arbre tournant. [...] Le palier lisse le plus simple est constitué par un corps en fonte portant une semelle de fixation parallèle à l'axe de l'arbre; [...] Les surfaces servant d'appui à l'arbre sont constituées par deux coussinets en fonte douce ou en bronze, généralement recouverts d'alliage antifriction.

OBS

Le moteur à induit plat. [...] l'induit n'est à palier que d'un côté, ainsi le collecteur ne s'encrasse pas. le coussinet du palier est composé de métal aggloméré et de ce fait ne nécessite pas de lubrification.

Record 6 2003-09-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Lubrication Technology
CONT

Bearings are made to take up wear from friction and abrasive action and are generally always replaced when an engine is rebuilt.... Manufacturing and reconditioning tolerances dictate that bearings must be able to conform to minor degrees of misalignment and surface imperfections between the bearing, shaft and housing. This is generally considered to be part of the break-in process, and conformability is an important bearing characteristic.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Tribologie
CONT

CERTESS, marque de HEF Groupe, désigne une gamme de revêtement à caractéristiques tribologiques bien définies (augmentation de la résistance à l'usure, réduction du coefficient de frottement, anti-collage, ...).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Engines (Motor Vehicles)
  • Bearings and Bearing Systems (Mechanical Components)
CONT

The bearing... shows that the engine was run at an excessive rpm. Over speeding greatly increases the load on the bearings and can cause the oil film to fail, allowing metal-to-metal contact.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Moteur (Véhicules automobiles)
  • Paliers, coussinets et roulements (Composants mécaniques)
CONT

L'état du ... coussinet ... indique que le moteur a fonctionné en survitesse. La survitesse augmente considérablement la charge exercée sur les coussinets et peut entraîner la rupture de la pellicule d'huile, d'où contact direct métal sur métal.

Record 9 1993-10-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Engines (Motor Vehicles)
  • Bearings and Bearing Systems (Mechanical Components)
CONT

High coolant or oil temperatures do decrease bearing life; however, they cause other engine components such as valves, pistons, and heads to fail before bearings.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Moteur (Véhicules automobiles)
  • Paliers, coussinets et roulements (Composants mécaniques)
CONT

La surchauffe du liquide réfrigérant ou de l'huile de graissage écourte la durée de service des coussinets; cependant, dans un moteur où le réfrigérant ou l'huile est surchauffé, d'autres pièces, telles que les soupapes, pistons ou culasses, se détériorent avant les coussinets. Une autre cause de la surchauffe des coussinets et, par suite, de leur détérioration réside dans le contact imparfait du dos de la coquille avec la surface de l'alésage.

Most normal bearing wear appears during the engine break-in period. After the initial break-in, the bearings wear very little if properly maintained.

La majeure partie de l'usure normale des coussinets se produit durant la période de rodage du moteur. En effet, après le rodage initial, les coussinets s'usent très peu si leur entretien est assuré correctement.
