This paper describes the performance characteristics of two types of journal bearings, tilting-pad and offset halves, operating under high-speed conditions where the journal peripheral speed is in excess of 100 m/s. Experimental investigations into bearing eccentricity, temperatures and dynamic coefficients were carried out with a specially designed test rig. These results are compared with theoretical data which are obtained from thermohydrodynamic lubrication theory. The agreement is satisfactory. However, further improvements are necessary to predict more accurate thermal performance of the unloaded pads.
