Bearing Demonstration Rig

Ever wondered why some machines breakdown often while others seem to keep going forever? In several machines large and small, journal bearings reduce wear and friction to help keep the world moving. The bearing demonstration rig will showcase such a bearing while providing an inside view of the physics that sustains its operation. Exhibitors will be on hand to explain what you will see and allow indirect interaction with the bearing rig.
