Oil film pressure in hydrodynamic journal bearings

Oil film pressure is one of the key operating parameters describing the operating conditions in hydrodynamic journal bearings Measuring the oil film pressure in bearings has been a demanding task and therefore the subject has been studied mainly by mathematical means The aim of this study was to determine the oil film pressure

Hydrostatic and Hydrodynamic Bearings Selection Guide

A hydrodynamic bearing is typically a low-clearance assembly that relies on a film of oil (and occasionally air) that develops space while the spindle is rotating The bearings transmit (float) the load on self-renewing film of lubricant The most basic hydrodynamic bearing is the journal bearing

Predicting Cavitation in Journal Bearings

Jan 30 2015Schematic of a journal bearing In some cases involving high-frequency varying loads as in internal combustion engines the pressure might drop below the oil vapor pressure (which is lower than the ambient pressure) In this case bubbles are formed by rapid evaporation/boiling of the oil This phenomenon is known as vapor cavitation

Hydrodynamic Lubrication

Fluid film or hydrodynamic lubrication is the term given when a shaft rotating in a bearing is supported by a layer or wedge of oil so that the shaft is not in contact with the bearing material The principle which allows large loads to be supported by this film of oil is similar to that which causes a car to aquaplane on a wet road surface

A new optical technique has been developed which is able to obtain accurate film thickness profiles across elastohydrodynamic (EHD) contacts This has been used in conjunction with a high pressure EHD test rig to obtain both central and minimum EHD film

Fiber Bragg grating based oil film pressure measurement in

Abstract: We proposed and demonstrated the measurement of the oil film pressure of a journal bearing based on Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs) for the first time FBG packaged by rubber was inserted into the bearing which was used to sensing the oil film pressure and the temperature in the oil film was measured at the same time

Plain bearing

In a hydrodynamic bearing the pressure in the oil film is maintained by the rotation of the journal Hydrostatic bearings enter a hydrodynamic state when the journal is rotating [13] Hydrostatic bearings usually use oil while hydrodynamic bearings can use oil or grease however bearings can be designed to use whatever fluid is available
