Anti-Friction and Journal Bearing

Explain difference between the Anti-Friction Bearing and the Journal Bearing?

Expert

Verified

Usually, journal bearings have the higher friction force, consume more energy and liberate more heat, but they do have the larger contact surface, thus normally it is used in the low speed high load applications. In the anti friction bearings, the friction is less.  One object rolls over one another.
