Abstract Paper represents analysis of influence of oil groove width and bearing clearance on characteristics of oil film in hydrodynamic journal main crankshaft bearing. Analysis was performed in purpose to define influence of bearing clearance and dimensions of oil groove on static characteristics and manufacturability of half shelf bearings in industrial high-volume production. Computer simulations was made using ARTbear program which was developed in Department of Machine Construction and Vehicle Design in Gdańsk Technical University. Performedanalysis allowed to define correlation between groove geometry and load capacity and working conditions of bearing. Potential opportunities of possible shortening of production time in high-volume production were also indicated.
