Slide Bearings for Electric Motors in Tesla’s Legacy
Abstract
Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) made numerous inventions and discoveries in the field of electricity, which are the basis of new scientific and technological breakthroughs, started in the late 19th century, and without which our present life could not be imagined. Tesla's work in mechanical engineering has been less studied and published so far, and therefore deserves special attention and interest not only by scientists but also by a chronicler of his life. Besides numerous saved archival documents, personal and technical objects, monographs and serial publications, some samples of slide bearings for electric motors were also found in his legacy.
The aim of the paper is to present these samples and describe their place in designs of electric motors from that historical period. Authors also provide CAD models based on original samples including some indications of their lubrication and assumed way of operation in electric motor exploitation.
