In the current paper is presented experimental determination of the hydrodynamic pressure in a radial journal bearing using a specially designed stand. The latter is used also for determining the friction moment of the bearing. The results obtained show that the influence of the shaft angular speed and the static load on the pressure values present tendencies identical to those published by other authors. The same can be claim also for the studied effect of the shaft speed on the values of friction moment.
