Abstract

This study developed and validated a low-cost measurement platform by upgrading an existing TM25 journal bearing demonstration unit. The original apparatus was limited to pressure distribution observation through manometer tubes, whereas the modified system integrated load cells and an Arduino-based data acquisition system to measure load-carrying capacity and frictional torque in real time. Load cell calibration was conducted using an eight-point dead-weight method with three repetitions, resulting in a calibration deviation of less than 2% across the test range. Experimental testing was performed at five rotational speeds (1000–2000 rpm) using three lubricant grades (SAE 10W-30, SAE 10W-40, and SAE 20W-50) to evaluate their influence on bearing performance. The results show that both load-carrying capacity and frictional torque increase with rotational speed and lubricant viscosity, with the highest values obtained using SAE 20W-50. The measured trends agree well with the original TM25 pressure distribution data and are consistent with hydrodynamic lubrication theory. The modified test equipment provides stable and repeatable measurements and extends the functionality of the TM25 unit as an experimental platform for tribology education and journal bearing performance analysis.

Abstract

This research aims to design and create a sms-based motor vehicle security system with an ATMega 8535 microcontroller. This research utilizes hand phone technology and microcontroller. Making this tool has an economical price to secure motorized vehicles. Important prototypes in making this tool are the ATMega 8535 microcontroller, GSM Modem and HP. In making this tool the first thing to make is to make a microcontroller program for the controller. Making this program uses CV Avr soft ware (Code Vision Avr). After the program is finished, the program is downloaded to the microcontroller. Control is done by the microcontroller when it gets input. The result of this research is to get a vehicle security system that is integrated by the ignition system on a motorcycle. The process of securing a motorized vehicle when it is stolen is, the security system will send sms information that the motorcycle is stolen, the alarm sounds and the ignition system is cut off. To turn off the alarm and start the motorcycle, the owner sends an SMS with the format *ALOF# to the security system and starts the motorcycle normally (Pull the front brake three times then position the key to ON mode).
