Method and apparatus for plain bearing crush height measurement

A computer program embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable program code, which code, when executed by at least one processor of an apparatus, causes the apparatus to:

• capture a first image of the plain bearing shell in a first mode, wherein no external compression stress in a circumference direction of the plain bearing shell is formed;
• generate plain bearing data based on the first captured image;
• maintain housing reference data comprising at least diameter information of a bore for receiving the plain bearing shell;
• and
• determine crush height of the plain bearing shell based on the plain bearing data and the housing reference data.

A computer implemented method for determining crush height of a plain bearing shell, comprising:

• capturing a first image of the plain bearing shell in a first mode, wherein no external compression stress in a circumference direction of the plain bearing shell is formed;
• generating plain bearing data based on the first captured image;
• maintaining housing reference data comprising at least diameter information of a bore for receiving the plain bearing shell;
• and
• determining crush height of the plain bearing shell based on the plain bearing data and the housing reference data.
