Popis: This paper describes an engine-bearing test machine consisting of a motor-driven modification of a commercially available diesel engine. The machine combines the advantages of engine operation with those of a standardized test machine. It was developed primarily for endurance testing of engine-bearing materials and design. A rating system is described for evaluating the extent of various kinds of failure elements so that bearings may be compared without testing them to destruction. Test results and the use of an oil-film-thickness indicator also are described briefly.
