Does anyone know of a good treatise on plain bearing design that treats bearings which must take both radial and axial loads?
Much to my dismay, a survey of 10 ft of machine design books failed to turn up a single book which treated the design of conical plain bearings. Just cylindrical and pure thrust bearings. Nothing such as one would use for a lathe spindle. Obviously a great deal was written about the topic during the first half of the 20th century.
Searches for books on Amazon and general searches with google turned up nothing relevant. I've not tried google scholar yet, but will shortly. However, I'd really like to have a comprehensive treatise on the topic rather than a slew of papers.
Project is a replacement spindle bearing for a small lathe which currently has ABEC 1 deep groove bearings. Intended use makes rolling contact bearings undesirable because of the inherent periodic errors.
As a last resort I can copy the geometry of my Clausing 4902 or a Southbend, but I'd really like to understand the design issues rather than make a "Chinese copy".
Thanks,
Reg
