Tribological processes and failure of plain bearings significantly affect the availability, adaptability, reliability and productivity of modern technology, maintenance costs, energy costs and the costs of modern production. The research of tribological processes and failure of plain bearings should indicate the possible causes and the necessary measures to be applied in order to reduce the tribological processes and failure of plain bearings. In this paper, possible causes of tribological processes and failure of plain bearings were analyzed. Having in mind the most important causes of tribological processes and failure, a proposal for monitoring the condition is given.
