Most hydrostatic pumps and motors apply mechanical face seals, often also acting as a thrust bearing. The load carrying capacity of these bearings is very much dependent on the pressure profile generated in the sealing gap. Previous research, outside pumps and motors, has already shown that the gap pressure profile is largely influenced by small radial deformations of the seal lands. This paper discusses the elastic deformation of pump components and the effects of these deformations on the load carrying capacity of a barrel in an axial piston machine.

The Coefficient Of Friction

Abstract The problem of the stepped-thrust bearing is considered but, whereas normally volumetric continuity is assumed, the equations are solved assuming mass continuity; i.e., the variation of density is also considered as well as the effect of the stepped discontinuity on the load-carrying capacity and the coefficient of friction. Computed theoretical curves illustrate the importance of the density on the operation of this bearing and, in part, explain results already published.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study and analyse the behaviour of a magnetic fluid-based squeeze film between rotating transversely rough porous annular plates, taking the elastic deformation into consideration. Design/methodology/approach – The stochastic film thickness characterizing the roughness is considered to be asymmetric with non-zero mean and variance and skewness while a magnetic fluid is taken as the lubricant. The associated stochastically averaged Reynolds-type equation is solved with appropriate boundary conditions to obtain the pressure distribution, which in turn is used to derive the expression for the load-carrying capacity. Findings – It is observed that the roughness of the bearing surfaces affects the performance adversely, although the bearing registers an improved performance owing to the magnetic fluid lubricant. Also, it is seen that the deformation causes reduced load-carrying capacity. The bearing can support a load even in the absence of flow, unlike the case of conventional lubricants. Originality/value – The originality of the paper lies in the fact that the negative effect of porosity, deformation and standard deviation can be minimized to some extent by the positive effect of the magnetic fluid lubricant in the case of negatively skewed roughness by suitably choosing the rotational inertia and aspect ratio. This effect becomes sharper when negative variance occurs.

Purpose This paper aims to analyze the pressure distribution of rectangular aerostatic thrust bearing with a single air supply inlet using the complex potential theory and conformal mapping. Design/methodology/approach The Möbius transform is used to map the interior of a rectangle onto the interior of a unit circle, from which the pressure distribution and load carrying capacity are obtained. The calculation results are verified by finite difference method. Findings The constructed Möbius formula is very effective for the performance characteristics researches for the rectangular thrust bearing with a single air supply inlet. In addition, it is also noted that to obtain the optimized load carrying capacity, the square thrust bearing can be adopted. Originality/value The Möbius transform is found suitable to describe the pressure distribution of the rectangular thrust bearing with a single air supply inlet.

Machine design and electrical contacts involve frequently elastic circular contacts subjected to normal loads. Depending on geometry, these may be Hertzian or surface contacts. Both possess highly nonuniform pressure distributions which diminish contact load carrying capacity. The achievement of a uniform pressure distribution would be ideal to improve the situation, but this violates stress continuity. Instead, the generation of a uniform pressure over most of contact area can be sought. Generally, equivalent punch profile which generates this pressure is found by numerical evaluation of double integrals. This paper simplifies the derivation of punch profile by using an existing correspondence between a polynomial punch surface and elastically generated pressure. First, an improved pressure profile is proposed seeking to avoid high Huber-Mises-Hencky stresses near contact surface. Then, this is approximated by the product between typical Hertz square root and an even polynomial, which yields directly the punch profile. Formulas for normal approach and central pressure are derived.

Load Carrying

Purpose Rotational speed and load-carrying capacity are two mutual coupling factors which affect high precision and stable operation of a hydrostatic thrust bearing. The purpose of this paper is to study reasonable matching relationship between the rotational speed and the load-carrying capacity. Design/methodology/approach A mathematical model of relationship between the rotational speed and the load-carrying capacity of the hydrostatic bearing with double-rectangle recess is set up on the basis of the tribology theory and the lubrication theory, and the load and rotational speed characteristics of an oil film temperature field and a pressure field in the hydrostatic bearing are analyzed, reasonable matching relationship between the rotational speed and the load-carrying capacity is deduced and a verification experiment is conducted. Findings By increasing the rotational speed, the oil film temperature increases, the average pressure decreases and the load-carrying capacity decreases. By increasing the load-carrying capacity, the oil film temperature and the average pressure increases and the rotational speed decreases; corresponding certain reasonable matching values are available. Originality/value The load-carrying capacity can be increased and the rotational speed improved by means of reducing the friction area of the oil recess by using low-viscosity lubricating oil and adding more oil film clearance; but, the stiffness of the hydrostatic bearing decreases.

Viscosity Variation

In this paper, the effects of porous bush elastic deformation on the static characteristics of finite porous journal bearing are investigated using Darcy’s law. The modified Reynolds equation applied to thermo-hydrodynamic problems is modified by considering the viscosity variation along the film thickness. The film pressure distribution and other characteristics such as the load carrying capacity and attitude angle are obtained by solving the governing equations numerically. Obtained results showed that deformation is considerable in the maximum pressure zone, and the elastic deformation will decrease the load carrying capacity. The viscosity variation parameter tends also to decrease the load carrying capacity.
