Briefly discuss the three sources that subject bearings to normal loads.

What will be an ideal response?


Bearings are subjected to normal loads from three sources:
1. Pressure as the expanding flame front pushes against the piston.
2. Centrifugal force from the rotating weight of the rod and crankpin.
3. Inertia from the up-and-down motion of the piston and rod assembly.
