Journal Bearing Sleeve Thickness
Journal Bearing Sleeve Thickness
(OP)
I am currently in the process of redesigning a butterfly valve system. I need to reduce the thickness of a journal type bearing sleeve from 3mm to 2mm.
Is there a rule of thumb/standard I need to adhere toward, Or is there a calculation I can use?
Thank you in advance,
Ryan

Based on the precious little info I offer this -
For steel backed bearings with any of a variety of tasty overlays 2 mm for split inserts and 1.5 mm for 1 piece bushings gets it done in Nascar .
