Record 4 1993-10-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Engines (Motor Vehicles)
  • Bearings and Bearing Systems (Mechanical Components)
CONT

Each half of replaceable insert main and connecting rod bearing is slightly oversize. When the two halves are placed in the bore, the ends of each half project very slightly(as little as two to five-thousandths of an inch, depending on bearing size) beyond the dividing line between the halves, or the parting lines.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Moteur (Véhicules automobiles)
  • Paliers, coussinets et roulements (Composants mécaniques)
CONT

Lorsque les deux coquilles sont en place dans l'alésage formé par la bielle et son chapeau ou le palier et son chapeau, les extrémités de chaque coquille dépassent très légèrement le plan de joint (de deux à cinq millièmes de pouce, soit 0,05 à 0,12 mm, selon les dimensions du coussinet).

Record 5 1993-10-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Engines (Motor Vehicles)
  • Bearings and Bearing Systems (Mechanical Components)
CONT

When the retaining bolts in the bearing cap are tightened, these ends are pushed together so the bearing fits tightly in the bore. This force fit is called bearing crush. It provides complete contact of the back of each bearing half with the surface of the bearing bore, and keeps the bearing from turning in the bore.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Moteur (Véhicules automobiles)
  • Paliers, coussinets et roulements (Composants mécaniques)
CONT

Au moment du serrage des boulons de fixation du chapeau, ces extrémités en saillie sont forcées l'une contre l'autre, de sorte que les deux coquilles sont fermement maintenues dans l'alésage. Cette pression, dénommée serrage du coussinet, permet à la face d'appui de chaque coquille d'épouser parfaitement la surface de l'alésage et stabilise le coussinet.
