Abstract
Reynolds' equation for a 120° partial journal bearing of the clearance type having an L/D ratio of 1 is solved numerically to determine the effect of positioning circumferentially the line of action of the load at various points along the bearing arc. The influence of the load position (α/β) on film thickness, eccentricity, journal position, friction, flow, temperature rise, and maximum film pressure is investigated and performance curves given. It is shown that the position of the load has a significant effect on bearing performance.Keywords
