1 Answer
| written 6.4 years ago by |
| S.N. | Parameter | Journal bearing (Sliding Bearing) | Roller bearing |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Speed | Operate efficiently in high speed | Operate efficiently in low speed |
| 2 | Friction | Power loss due to friction increase at high speeds which requires proper oil flow rate for heat rejection | Lower friction in lower speed but higher friction in high speed |
| 3 | Maintenance | Need maintenance, Permanent care about lubrication | Occasional attention required |
| 4 | Shocks | Bear the shocks and high loads | Doesn't withstand the shocks and high loads |
| 5 | Axial length | Very long to bear the shocks and high loads | Relatively less length |
| 6 | Bearing Life | Long life | Short life |
| 7 | Failure | Lower possibility of failure occur | Higher possibility to failure occurs |
| 8 | Application | Used in higher speed application like turbines and compressors etc | Used in lower speed application like gear box |
