The purpose of providing multiple collars on a flat collar pivot bearing is to
A)Increase frictional resistance
B)To establish self-sustaining bearing condition
C)Distribute the frictional load because of limiting friction
D)Distribute the axial load because of limiting bearing pressure on a collar
E)None of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multiple collars are used to distribute the axial load evenly across the bearing surface, preventing excessive pressure on any single collar and ensuring the bearing operates effectively without exceeding the material's pressure limits.
