Engine bearings are an important component of internal combustion engines. The development of plain bearings is therefore closely linked with engine development. Today, the complex requirements and increased stresses imposed on the bearings of the moving engine parts, such as crankshafts, conrods, tappets and camshaft generally call for the use of materials that are carefully tuned to the respective application. The large number of proven material combinations available meanwhile enables the design engineer to select the optimally suited bearing system.
