BUSHING FOR OIL FILM BEARING

摘要

A bushing has a cylindrical wall with an inner bearing surface configured and dimensioned to surround the journal surface of a roll neck in a rolling mill. The bearing surface has a primary recess into which oil is admitted to serve as a lubricant between the journal and bearing surfaces. The primary recess has a width measured between circumferentially spaced edges, and a length spaced from the ends of the bearing surface by land segments of the bearing surface. Secondary recesses in the land segments have widths that are narrower than the width of the primary recess.
