🔍 Key Concepts

• Unit loading on bearings (force per unit area) and how lubrication method affects load capacity • Differences between hydrodynamic (forced/pressure) lubrication and simple splash/ring/disk lubrication • What happens to the oil film when load and speed increase

💭 Think About

• Which lubrication method maintains the thickest and most reliable oil film under very high loads? • Among the options, which systems use external energy (pumps/pressure) versus relying only on the bearing’s own motion to move oil? • If a bearing must carry very heavy loads at high speeds, would engineers prefer a simple passive system or an actively supplied, controlled oil system?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option(s) use forced/pressurized oil supply versus gravity, rings, or disks • Consider which system best prevents metal-to-metal contact under heavy load • Think about which method is typically used on large, high-speed main propulsion shaft bearings in ships
