Engine Bearings: Class 2 & 1 Engineer Course

The document discusses engine bearings used in class 2 and 1 engines. It covers topics such as oil film generation between the bearing and shaft, the hydrodynamic action that occurs, factors that influence bearing performance like lubricant viscosity and temperature, and design features of bearings like clearance. It also touches on potential problem areas for bearings and importance of maintenance.
