Engine bearings, the unsung heroes of your car's performance, are essential for ensuring smooth and efficient operation. These precision components play a crucial role in minimizing friction and wear, extending the life of your engine.
Bearing Type | Function |
---|---|
Journal Bearings | Support crankshaft and camshaft |
Thrust Bearings | Control axial movement of rotating components |
Connecting Rod Bearings | Connect pistons to crankshaft |
Bearing Material | Advantages | Disadvantages |
---|---|---|
Babbitt | Durable, conformable | High friction, requires high oil pressure |
Copper-Lead | Excellent fatigue strength, low friction | Expensive, not as conformable as babbitt |
Aluminum Alloys | Lightweight, high strength | High thermal expansion, limited conformability |
