Oil Film thickness in Design of Sliding Contact Bearing Formulas

The Oil Film thickness is the measurement of the layer of lubricant between two surfaces in contact, crucial for reducing friction and wear in sliding contact bearings. And is denoted by h. Oil Film thickness is usually measured using the Millimeter for Length. Note that the value of Oil Film thickness is always positive.
