Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you found the explanation helpful. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask. Your feedback is greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your question. While various machines may utilize different configurations, the use of five pads in bearings has gained popularity for several reasons. Firstly, five-pad bearings excel in heat dissipation, surpassing the thermal management capabilities of three or four-pad designs. Additionally, the extra pads contribute to enhanced stability, a crucial factor in many applications. However, it's worth noting that a smaller number of pads can often accommodate higher load carrying capacities.
Thanks for the great suggestion! Journal bearings are definitely an interesting topic with a lot to cover, and I’ll add this to my list for future videos. In the meantime, I already have some videos on different types of bearings you might find useful: Part 25 covers sleeve bearings (journal bearings), Part 26 dives into squeeze film dampers, Part 21 explores herringbone grooved bearings, and Parts 16 and 17 focus on foil bearings. Let me know if there’s a specific type of journal bearing or application you'd like me to go deeper into!

Just a curiosity, when it's indicated the load W in the bearing, is it referred only to static load in steady state operating?
Yes, that's right. :)
Great explanation. I think that generally these bearings incoporate 5 pads and 5 pads only!! Can you please explain why is it exactly this way ?

3 jaw lathe chuck are self centre & 4 jaw chuck are not self centre. always keep odd number of pads.
Plz make video on journal bearings types (Plain,lobe type, elliptical bore, pressure dam etc )
