In order to improve the lubrication performance of the double-rectangular cavity hydrostatic thrust bearing, this paper selects the temperature rise characteristics of hydrostatic bearing as the research object under the conditions of changing oil film thickness and different working conditions. Using the dynamic mesh method with variable viscosity dynamic simulation, the changing temperature rise curves under different inlet flow velocities and rotating speeds are obtained. This paper obtains the changing laws of oil film thickness and temperature under the hydrostatic bearing running in no-load, load 2.5 t, load 10 t and the rotating speeds of 40 r/min, 60 r/min and 80 r/min. Under the low rotating speed, the high temperature region in the oil cavity mainly concentrates on the counter flow side. With the increase of working speed, the high temperature region on the counter flow side expands to the oil seal side obviously. When the oil film thickness was in the range of 0.04 mm to 0.07 mm, the temperature of oil seal edge increased with the increase of the inlet flow velocity. Using the FLUENT software, the variable viscosity simulation of hydrostatic bearing is carried out under different oil film thickness, and the temperature distribution of oil cavity is obtained. Finally, the correctness of theoretical analysis and simulation are verified by conducting experiment.

According to the problem of the influence of oil film thickness on temperature rise for heavy hydrostatic thrust bearing during operation, build viscosity-temperature equation of lubricating oil film and mathematics model of oil film temperature rise of heavy hydrostatic bearing with multiple oil pads, simulate the temperature field of hydrostatic bearing with sector cavity under various oil film thickness using FVM(finite volume method), and reveal the influence law of oil film thickness of temperature rise for hydrostatic bearing. The results show that temperature distribution of hydrostatic bearing is much the same under various oil film thicknesses, but the influence of oil film thickness of temperature rise for hydrostatic bearing is greater. The results of numerical calculations actually response flow state inside hydrostatic bearing ,offer theoretical foundation for the design of hydrostatic bearing in engineering practice, and have important significance in improving operation stability of NC machine.

A radial thrust hydrodynamic sliding bearing (RTHSB) with special shaped cavity had been designed. Taking the instantaneous temperature rise characteristics of RTHSB as an analysis object, considering the influence of inlet lubricating oil velocity and transmission shaft speed, a dynamic simulation method of variable viscosity temperature field is proposed, and the mathematical model of instantaneous temperature rise of time-varying oil film is constructed. The correlation equation between instantaneous temperature rise and oil film variable viscosity is analyzed, the lubricating performance of a special-shaped cavity with variable thickness of the oil film considering real-time full operating conditions is revealed, and the alternating transient laws of oil film thickness with variable viscosity and its instantaneous temperature rise for no-load, heavy-load, and different rotating speeds are studied. It is obtained that the higher temperature area of profiled shaped cavity on reverse flow side extends to oil seal side with increase of rotating speed. The dynamic simulation of variable viscosity of RTHSB with different film thickness is simulated by using FLUENT software and the trend of transient film temperature field distribution of in special-shaped cavity is evaluated. The rationality of the mechanism analysis and numerical simulation results in this paper has been verified.

The Newtonian thermal EHL analyses of point contacts with two-sided surface roughness have been performed under pure rolling, sliding/rolling and simple sliding conditions. Thermal results are compared with isothermal ones. It has been found that the sliding motion produces high temperature rise and reduces the film thickness greatly. The influence of amplitude and wavelength of the surface roughness on variation of tribo-characteristics of oil film is also discussed.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of high-temperature inlet oil on the comprehensive performance of tilting-pad bearing. Design/methodology/approach Taking a tilting-pad bearing under high temperature of inlet oil in a natural gas compressor as an example, the experimental system was developed for the tilting-pad bearing applied in a real machine, and the experiment was performed. The bearing lubricating properties under different high temperatures of inlet oil were obtained, including oil film thickness on the pivot, temperature rise and the shaft vibration values at the bearing positions. Findings The experimental results showed that the vibration, the oil film thickness on the pivot and the pad temperature were not sensitive to the change in temperature of the inlet oil, but vibrations were observed under the specific speed. At the same speed, when oil temperature changed by 1°C, the bearing temperature rise did not exceed 0.2°C and change in oil film thickness on the pivot was 1 µm. The test results of the actual unit are in good agreement with the experimental results. Originality/value The vibration measurement scheme was presented, and an indirect measurement method of fulcrum thickness was proposed. The practicability of the measurement method and the accuracy of test results were verified by the comparison of the test results of the shaft vibration, the bearing pad temperature, the fulcrum oil film thickness and the theoretical calculation results. This study will provide an important reference for designing a tilting-pad bearing with high-temperature inlet oil.

Development relevance to improve the operational parameters of the support units of machine tools in their design elements is introduced that increase the rigidity of the components, their carrying capacity, damp occurring vibrations in the process, the coefficient of performance (COP), smoothness of motion, positioning accuracy, reducing the wear of their working surfaces and maintain the original accuracy. A number of engineering development [1], [2], aimed at improving the above characteristics of the machine by changing and improving design of reference nodes used in these rails rolling bearings, aerostatic and hydrostatic guides, as well as the use of automatic control systems of its basic parameters, determine its quality. However, in some operating conditions in which errors occur, mainly due to the instability of oil-film thickness (gap) between the mobile and immobile elements of the hydrostatic bearing. For high accuracy requirements it will negatively affect the quality of machined parts and equipment performance. On this basis, it becomes apparent urgency of the problem of automatic stabilization of oil-film thickness (gap) in the IR. To ensure high precision equipment to improve power system hydrostatic bearing units of machine tools. This, in turn, creates the prerequisite for the development of stabilization systems of the gap in the hydrostatic bearing, with the help of which the thickness of oil layer in them would be kept constant even with significant dynamic load on the support.
