🔍 Key Concepts

• Bearing materials and journals – what is the purpose of using a softer bearing material against a harder shaft (journal)? • Foreign particle behavior – what happens when dirt or metal particles are in the lube oil film between bearing and journal? • Damage mechanisms – compare damage to the hard journal vs. the softer bearing surface if particles are present.

💭 Think About

• Think about which part is more expensive and critical to protect: the bearing or the journal (shaft). • If a small hard particle is in the oil film, what will cause more long‑term damage: the particle constantly rubbing on the journal surface, or that particle being trapped somewhere else? • Which options confuse the role of filters versus the function of the bearing material itself?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which component (bearing or journal) is designed to be sacrificial/softer. • Decide whether embedding particles in the bearing would tend to protect or harm the journal surface over time. • Check which answer choices incorrectly attribute a filtering/flow function to the bearing rather than to the lube oil system.
