This paper presents the effect of squeeze motion to elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) in piston pin of air compressor with non-Newtonian lubricants based on a Carreau viscosity model. The time dependent modified Reynolds equation and elasticity with initial conditions were formulated and solved numerically using a multigrid multilevel with full approximation technique for a piston pin. Effects of bearing materials and liquid properties were examined. The results show that minimum film thickness and friction coefficient increases when lubricant viscosity increases. At the same time, for increasing of elastic modulus of bearing bushing the friction coefficient decreases.
