Journal Bearing is a type of mechanical bearing that supports a rotating shaft using a thin layer of fluid, usually oil or grease, to reduce friction and wear between the shaft and the bearing surface. The bearing itself consists of a cylindrical shell with a smooth surface, called the journal, and an inner surface that is coated with the lubricating fluid. The journal bearing works by creating a hydrodynamic film of lubricant between the shaft and the bearing surface. As the shaft rotates, it creates a pressure differential in the fluid, causing it to flow and create a wedge-shaped layer between the two surfaces. This layer of lubricant supports the weight of the shaft and reduces friction, allowing it to rotate smoothly and without excessive wear
