Question

Which issue can arise from manufacturing a bearing shell with low-grade material?

This question was previously asked in
RRB ALP 2025 CBT 2 Wiremen Question Paper (28-Jul-2026) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

Premature bearing failure

A bearing shell must carry heavy alternating loads, resist wear from the rotating journal, and conduct heat away, which demands a good-quality bearing metal with the right strength and fatigue life.

If the shell is made from low-grade material, it is weaker and fatigues or wears faster than the design intended.

Such a shell can crack, spread, or wear through its lining early, so the bearing fails well before its expected service life.

Reduced vibration would require a better, correctly fitted bearing, not a poorer material, so that cannot result from low-grade metal.

Enhanced oil pressure and improved engine speed are set by the pump and the engine tuning; a bad bearing does not raise either and in fact tends to lower oil pressure as clearances open up.

So the likely consequence of low-grade material is early, premature failure of the bearing.

Hence, the answer is Premature bearing failure.
