Abstract
A method is described for monitoring slide bearings (10, 6, 9), especially of a piston engine, with a forced feed lubrication (12) comprising a forced-oil line (16) and branch lines (17) branching off from the forced-oil line (16) for the supply with oil of at least one slide bearing (10, 6, 9), with an operating parameter which changes on the occurrence of bearing damage being repeatedly measured and evaluated. In order to provide advantageous process conditions it is proposed that the rates of oil flow and/or the oil pressures in the branch lines (17) are measured and temporal changes to said operating parameters are evaluated for monitoring the bearing.
