A new prototype of 2-DOF micro-positional stage was designed based on parallel structure according to the following requirements of the stage, such as, symmetrical structures in X and Y directions, decoupling movement in X and Y directions, large operating surface, and more simple and compact structure. Using double flexible arched plate, the specified structure of the stage was designed by considering the realization of its movement. Static and dynamic characteristics of the stage have been analyzed by using the finite element method. For the static performance, there is a linear relationship between the displacement of the stage and its driving force. The maximum displacement of the stage is about 36 μm under the maximum force 650 N. For dynamic performance, the natural frequency and the response time of the stage are about 2.4 kHz and 1.4 ms, respectively.

Abstract In this study, the influence of inlet pocket size on the static performance of non-Newtonian lubricated hole-entry hybrid journal bearings is theoretically analyzed. The oil film of the bearing is discretized into a nonuniform mesh containing the geometric characteristics of the oil inlet pocket, and the inlet pocket is treated as a micro-oil recess. The Reynolds equation is solved by the finite element method based on Galerkin's techniques, and a new solution strategy to solve the recess/pocket pressure is proposed. The power-law model is used to introduce the non-Newtonian effect. The results show that the static performance characteristics of this type of bearing are greatly affected by the pocket size at both zero speed and high speed.

Bearing System

The misalignment between the journal and the bearing in a rotor-bearing system may be due to manufacturing error, elastic deflection, thermal expansion etc. In the present work, the eight linearized stiffness and damping coefficients of the cylindrical and three lobe bearings are identified at different levels of bearing misalignment (twisting misalignment) and at different speeds of the rotor. The identification method used here needs FRFs (Frequency Response Functions) obtained by the measurements and the finite element method. The twisting misalignment changes the stiffness and damping coefficients in the vertical and horizontal directions. In the case of three lobe bearings, for 0.7 degree of misalignment, the stiffness in the vertical direction is increased by about 12 percent.

Angled-surface slot-compensated hydrostatic bearing (ASHB) is a novel type of hydrostatic bearing which is potentially applicable in rotary tables. However, it has not been sufficiently studied in available literature. In this paper the mathematic model for ASHB was built and solved by the finite element method (FEM). The influence of semicone angle on static and dynamic performance characteristics was theoretically investigated. The simulated results have been compared with that of the traditional fixed slot-compensated hydrostatic bearing (FSHB) on the same geometric and operating conditions. Results show that the performance of ASHB is better than that of FSHB; the studied bearing with a large semicone angle is superior in power consumption; the clearance width ratio of the restricting gap to the bearing gap has an obvious effect on bearing performance.

In this work, to improve the static behavior of aerostatic journal bearings, we examine the effect of pockets with different shapes, including the square, rectangular 1, rectangular 2, and circular, manufactured on the surface of the aerostatic journal bearing. The effects of the pocket shapes, pocket area [Formula: see text], eccentricity ratio ɛ, orifice diameter df, average gas film thickness h0, and misalignment angles [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] on the static performance are investigated using simulations. The Reynolds equation is solved by the finite-element method in this work. Simulations reveal that the pocket area [Formula: see text], eccentricity ratio ɛ, gas film thickness h0, orifice diameter df, and misalignment angles [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] have a significant influence on the load force F and the stiffness K. In general, rectangular 2 pocket bearings are found to perform somewhat better than bearings with other pocket shapes, with the pocket depth set to one-half of h0, when the pocket area [Formula: see text] varies from one-twelfth to one. The pocket area [Formula: see text] should be set according to the average gas film thickness h0 and the orifice diameter df to achieve a better static performance for the bearings. For bearings operated with misalignment angles [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], different pocket areas [Formula: see text] should be set according to the pocket shapes for the optimal design.

The hub-bearing assembly is one of the fundamental components of modern vehicles. A bad hub-bearing can cause phantom noises or ghost vibrations at sporadic points during the drive. In this paper, effects on the clearance of the bearing are investigated by both the analytical method and the Finite Element Method (FEM). It is found that the assembly process, the initial setting clearance, the rotating speed, the thermo-expansion contribute to the clearance of automotive hub bearing. The fundamental study is the basis for analyzing the dynamic performance and noise of the bearing. Also, it can be extended to optimize the assembly process.
