Michell Tilting Pad Bearing Apparatus
Product Code : JA-FMAHLE-7334
The Michell Tilting Pad Bearing Apparatus (SKU JA-FMAHLE-7334) is a teaching set-up for studying hydrodynamic lubrication in a tilting pad bearing, where a pad that is free to tilt lets a wedge-shaped oil film form against the moving surface. JaincoLab offers this tilting pad bearing apparatus for theory of machines and tribology practicals in mechanical engineering colleges and polytechnics. The product listing gives no dimensional data, so the specification is confirmed on the quotation.
Specifications
The current listing does not state pad size, drive motor, speed range, load range or the pressure measuring arrangement; JaincoLab confirms each of these values on the quotation, together with the utilities the laboratory needs to run the apparatus.

Applications of the tilting pad bearing apparatus
A tilting pad bearing apparatus is used to show how a pad that can tilt forms a converging oil wedge and how the resulting film carries the load, which complements journal bearing tests in lubrication and theory of machines practicals.
- Demonstrating the formation of a wedge-shaped oil film under a tilting pad
- Relating load and speed to oil film behaviour in a thrust bearing
- Comparing tilting pad and journal bearing lubrication in the same laboratory
- Tribology and theory of machines practicals in mechanical engineering courses
Scope of supply and ordering
The listing covers the Michell tilting pad bearing apparatus. Because the product data gives no detailed specification, the drive, measuring instruments and any oil or utilities required are set out on the quotation. Accessories, spares and quantities are confirmed on the quotation.
Minimum order quantity, lead time and packing are confirmed on each quotation for the number of units and the delivery destination. JaincoLab supplies bearing and lubrication set-ups individually or as part of complete theory of machines laboratories for colleges and tenders.
