Abstract
In Chapter 5 bearings of plane form only were considered and these were shown to be of use in supporting loads which act at right angles to their plane. Bearings of this type are generally recognised as thrust bearings. However, another important type of bearing is the journal bearing. Journal bearings are used to support rotating circular shafts which are loaded in a radial direction.
