| In a hydrodynamic bearing, the loaded rotating journal is always displaced from the concentric position. As a result, a converging gap (wedge) is formed between the bearing and journal surfaces (Fig.1). The wedge parameters are determined by the difference between the diameters. This difference is called oil clearance (or bearing clearance). The presence of an oil wedge is indispensable to the normal operation of a hydrodynamic bearing [2].\\ | In a hydrodynamic bearing, the loaded rotating journal is always displaced from the concentric position.
