This paper presents an overview of the development of a reliable bearing system for a new line of small turbochargers where the bearing system has to be compatible with a new compressor and turbine design. The first part demonstrates how the increased weight of the turbine, due to a 40 % increase in flow capacity, influences the dynamic stability of the rotor-bearing system. The second part shows how stability can be improved by optimizing important floating ring parameters and by applying different bearing designs, such as profiled bore bearings supported on squeeze film dampers. Test results and stability analyses are included as well as the criteria which led to the decision to choose a squeeze film backed symmetrical 3-lobe bearing for this new turbocharger design.

An experimental setup of rotor-bearing system is installed and vibration characteristics of the system with pedestal looseness are investigated. The pretightening bolt between the bearing house and pedestal is adjusted to simulate the pedestal looseness fault. The vibration waveforms, spectra and orbits are used to analyze the nonlinear response of the system with pedestal looseness. Different parameters, including speed, looseness gap, imbalance mass and disk position are changed to observe the nonlinear vibration characteristics. The experiments show that the system motion generally contains the 1/2X fractional harmonic component and multiple harmonic components such as 2X, 3X, etc. Under some special conditions, the pedestal looseness occurs intermittently, that is, occurs in some periods and doesn’t in other periods.
