14、steelbacking. A common example of this is a babbitt bearing. (See Trimetal.)3.4 Bore or Housing IDThe diametral size of the housing into which the bearing is assembled. The housing IDwhich supports and retains the bearing in assembly. (See Gage.)3.5 Bore DistortionThe elastic deformation of the hous
15、ing which occurs because of the stress imposed byinterference fit between housing ID and assembled bearing OD. Magnitude of bore distortion is normally asmall value, but because housings generally have nonuniform cross sections, adjustments to the concentricityof the bearing walls are made to accomm
16、odate various degrees of nonuniform outward displacement of thehousing. These adjustments to the bearing wall are normally achieved by controlling bearing eccentricity.Also, frequently considered are distortions produced by external or inertial loads. (See Eccentricity.)3.6 Centerline WallThe bearin
17、g wall thickness at a location 90 degrees from the parting lines. Sometimescalled vertical centerline.3.7 CrushThe amount by which circumferential length of a half shell exceeds one half the circumference of thehousing ID. This excess length ensures the interference fit which holds the mating half s
18、hells in place. (SeeParting Line Height.)3.8 EccentricityThe gradual reduction in bearing wall thickness, normally from centerline wall to the parting linerelief, which tends to create additional diametral clearance between the bearing and journal near the partinglines. The magnitude of eccentricity
19、 may vary as dictated by studies of bore distortion characteristics. Exceptin rare instances, eccentricity is positive, meaning that the wall thickness near the parting line is less than thewall thickness at the vertical centerline.3.9 EndsThe surfaces or faces which determine the two planes that de
20、fine the bearing length.3.10 Flange CounterboreMachined radius to aid in lubricant flow and clearance with crankshaft fillet.3.11 Flange DiameterThe OD measurement of flanges in the assembled state. The maximum flange OD shouldnot exceed 1.3 times the maximum housing ID if forming difficulties are t
21、o be avoided.3.12 Flange ThicknessThe thickness of the flange on a flange bearing.3.13 Free Spread DiameterThe diametral dimension of the half shell bearing in its free state. Normally, thisdimension will exceed the maximum housing ID by at least 0.5 mm (0.020 in) for straight shells, and by abouton
22、e-tenth this amount for flange bearings. This deliberate increased diameter aids assembly by ensuring thateach half shell will have sufficient friction within its intended housing to remain in place during engine assemblyoperations. Its exact values are not critical.3.14 Gage DiameterThe numerical b
23、ore size which is equal to the high limit dimension of the housing ID.3.15 LengthThe overall axial dimension of the half bearing.3.16 LiningThe bearing material which is bonded to the steel back.3.17 LugThe projection from the OD of the bearing half shell provided on straight shell bearings to ensur
24、e properaxial location of the half shell in the housing. It is sometimes referred to as a tang, notch, or nick. Lugs are notintended to secure the bearing against rotation within the housing. Crush does that. Lugs should be on oneparting line only. Commonly, lugs on both half bearings are assembled
25、on the same side of the housing.SAE J506 Reaffirmed FEB95-4-3.18 Lug ProjectionThe dimension from the bearing back to the outside surface of the lug at the parting line.3.19 Oil HoleA hole through the bearing shell which is used to index with drilled oil passages in the bearingshousing. (See Squirt
26、Hole.)3.20 Overall LengthThe dimension between thrust faces on a common flange bearing and equal to themaximum axial dimension of the bearing.3.21 OverlayA thin surface layer of soft bearing material on a harder lining material which, in turn, becomes anintermediate layer of high load capacity. Norm
27、ally, overlays are deposited by electroplating, and have anominal thickness of 0.025 mm (0.001 in) or less. The result is then a trimetal bearing. (See Trimetal.)3.22 Partial GrooveThis is a groove similar in nature and cross section to the full annular groove, generally for thepurpose of extending
28、the full annular groove into a mating half bearing but preventing its extension into themost heavily loaded portion of a main bearing.3.23 Parting LineThe face or surface of the half shell which butts against a mating surface of another half shell toform a full round bearing.3.24 Parting Line Chamfe
29、rA small chamfer added to the inside surface of the parting line along the entire lengthof the bearing to eliminate sharp disturbances to the oil flow which could otherwise result from minor conditionsof cap shift or misalignment.3.25 Parting Line HeightA measurement of half shell circumference norm
30、ally made with the parting lines of thebearing loaded in compression and with the back of the bearing seated and conforming to the ID of a preciselymade inspection block which is normally equal in size to the gage diameter. The measured difference betweenparting line height and the inspection block
31、radius equals the measured indicator crush. The load under whichthe bearing is measured is specified to be large enough to ensure adequate seating and reproduciblemeasurements without causing permanent deformation of the bearing.3.26 Parting Line ReliefThe removal of bearing material near the partin
32、g line to aid smoothness of oil flow wherethe parting lines of the half shells butt against each other.3.27 Spreader GrooveA cross groove, generally in a normally unloaded area, used to promote oil flow withoutincreasing clearances.3.28 Squirt HoleA small cutout at parting line surface, sometimes us
33、ed in rod bearings to provide a squirt of oilonto cylinder walls during operation.3.29 StraddleThe dimension between the inside surfaces of the flanges on a flange bearing.3.30 Thrust FaceThat exterior portion of a flange bearing which runs against a mating thrust face of a shaft tocontrol axial sha
34、ft movement and load.3.31 Thrust Face GrooveA small groove incorporated into the thrust face for the purpose of promoting oil flow.3.32 TrimetalA type of bearing construction in which a heavy-duty bearing material (lining) is bonded to a steelback and then a thin layer of softer bearing material is
35、applied to the ID of the high-strength bearing material.Normally, this surface layer is obtained by electroplating and is referred to as the overlay, or overlay plate. It isthin enough that the high strength of the intermediate layer determines the ultimate bearing strength from afatigue standpoint.
36、 This type of bearing is normally used in heavy-duty applications. (See Bimetal.)SAE J506 Reaffirmed FEB95-5-3.33 WallThe total thickness of the bearing half shell which is the sum of the steel back thickness, lining thicknessand, when applicable, overlay thickness. When given without other qualific
37、ations, it is normally assumed to becenterline wall.4. Applications and General ConsiderationsSleeve type half bearings, sometimes called thinwall bearings,are most commonly found in the connecting rod and main bearing positions of gasoline and diesel enginesused in the automotive, construction equi
38、pment, and farm equipment industries. Normally, they are lubricatedwith oil which is supplied under pressure.Much theoretical and experimental work has been done with respect to the operation of sleeve type bearings,and both bearing manufacturers and large volume users are familiar with the theories
39、 of hydrodynamiclubrication so they can perform the associated calculations with relative ease. The theory involves thedevelopment of pressures within an oil film as a result of a journal rotating inside the bearing. Shearing of theoil film generates heat; however, oil is supplied in sufficient quan
40、tity to control temperatures and viscosities.For a given set of operating conditions, calculations can be made for oil film thickness and expected operatingtemperatures. Sometimes, such calculations highlight potential problems and point the way for modification tothe original design. Such changes c
41、an involve oil viscosity, oil supply pressure, geometry of the bearing,clearances, grooving, and other factors.Mechanically, a thinwall bearing should be flexible and elastic in comparison with the housing. When thehousing is made round and true in relation to mating parts, the designer can be confi
42、dent that the bearing, withits relative flexibility, will conform to the housing, thereby ensuring desired shape and alignment. Also, thisflexible characteristic permits the bearings to be economically made from material which generally is preparedas a continuous strip from which the bearings are bl
43、anked, formed, and precisely machined, providing afinished bearing of high quality and reliability.5. Wall Size RecommendationsWall sizes for various shaft sizes are presented graphically in Figure 2. Therecommended wall sizes are based on the most common bearing strip preparations.Corresponding hou
44、sing sizes can be easily determined by adding to nominal shaft size, two times the bearingwall plus the diametral clearance.Regarding the selection of light or heavy series wall sizes, the following can be used as a guide:a. SAE Light SeriesConnecting rod bearings for passenger car and similar light
45、-duty engines.b. SAE Heavy SeriesMain bearings for passenger car and similar light-duty engines. Connecting rodand main bearings for heavy-duty engines.c. SAE Extra-Heavy SeriesMain bearings for heavy-duty engines sometimes use the next heavier wallsize for a given shaft size than SAE Heavy Series.S
