The paper presents results of the tests concerning slide bearings having modified journal with helical groove. Such a bearing is more wear-resistant than the classical bearing in case of hard particles presence in oil. Investigations show that above mentioned modification results in over twofold decrease in wear intensity in case of suitable helical groove parameters. Differences in worn journals surface topography for investigated variants have also been stated.
