Abstract
Water lubricated sliding bearings are increasingly popular in marine and hydro power industry. Such popularity is partly due to their simple construction which also means a relatively affordable price. Properly designed and installed water lubricated bearings may well last for over a decade. During the last decade their traditional range has been expanded with new, modern products like three layer bearing bush. The work presents results of experimental research conducted on comparable sliding bearings with various bushes. Movement resistance, pressures in bearing interspace and shaft orbits were measured and analysed. Additionally conducted research determined that certain bearings continue to work properly despite lack of lubricant flow and cooling. This is due to low motion resistance levels resulting low friction co heat generated in the friction zone of such bearings is sufficiently low to be dispersed into surroundings once bearing temperature rises and stabilizes at a safe level.
