A journal bearing is a mechanical device used to reduce friction between moving parts, and it is an essential component of most engines. Engines and other related machinery often make use of many types of bearings, but journal-type models are often best for situations where there is a lot of motion.
Similarly, when speaking of a crankshaft, the journals are the main bearing journals only. The crank pins are not normally called journals although they form the centre shafts of the big end bearings and are therefore journals in the more general sense.he bearings hold the crankshaft in place and prevent the forces created by the piston and transmitted to the crankshaft by the connecting rods from dislodging the crankshaft, instead forcing the crank to convert the reciprocating movement into rotation.
