Abstract

Technological advances in engineering are frequently driven by the need to solve a particular problem. Successful solutions then form the basis of a new generation of products designed for wider application. This move, from particular to general, is well illustrated by the development of a forced air-cooled, whitemetal bearing able to operate in markedly more extreme conditions than usual. This paper describes the evolution of a bearing design with greatly increased heat dissipation capability when compared with other bearings of its size and type. The resulting operating envelope therefore extends well into the area traditionally occupied by water cooled bearings. © IMechE 2006.
