Crosshead bearings have several axial oil grooves on the loaded surface to promote oil film exchange during bearing oscillation. However, because the development of a thick oil film by hydrodynamic action is impaired by these oil grooves, the bearings are prone to seizure and fatigue cracking. The continuing trend towards more powerful, more compact engines increases bearing specific loads and thereby makes crosshead bearing lubrication more difficult. This gives rise to a need for further enhancement of the load-carrying capacity of the crosshead bearings. In externally-pressurized bearings, the lubricating oil is supplied to two hydrostatic oil pockets at high pressure to hydrostatically lift the bearing from the crosshead pin. There is sparse literature about hydrostatic pocket design in crosshead bearings. Therefore, externally-pressurized, hydrostatically-lubricated crosshead bearings were designed and test bearings produced. Theoretical analysis and experimental studies using a dynamically-loaded bearing apparatus were conducted to relate the hydrostatic lift and hydrodynamic characteristics to the bearing design parameters.
