Sliding journal bearings lubricated with water coming directly from the environment are a solution used in shipbuilding, pumps and hydropower. However, the working fluid or surrounding water cannot always be filtered because of design limitations, which often causes the problem of premature wear of these sensitive bearings. The research conducted made it possible to assess the wear of sliding bearings lubricated with water containing solid particles of mineral origin. It has been proved that the geometry of the bearing and the relative size of the particles have a significant impact on the wear process of the tested sliding pair of sintered bronze and steel.
