Bi-Metal journal and journal thrust bearings, characterized by their simpler design and ease of installation, represent a major share of the bearings utilized in rotating equipment. Their housings are typically manufactured from steel, bronze, or cast iron. From a geometric perspective, they are classified into journal bearings, thrust bearings, and combined journal-thrust bearings, each designed to meet specific load and operational requirements.
These types of bearings are generally repairable due to their thick housings, allowing for reuse. Additionally, to enhance performance and stability, the inner diameter of these bearings is often machined into various profiles, including elliptical and eccentric shapes.
