Hydrodynamic Bearings by EPI Inc

Jan 25 2013In fully hydrodynamic (or full-film) lubrication the moving surface of the journal is completely separated from the bearing surface by a very thin film of lubricant (as little as 0 0001 with isotropic-superfinished {ISF} surfaces) The applied load causes the centerline of the journal to be displaced from the centerline of the bearing

Hydrodynamic Lubrication

In film fluid lubrication a thin fluid-film provides a bearing surface-to-surface separation The load on the bearing is then supported by the pressure that is developed in this fluid-film which usually has a thickness of less than 20 μm (Nordin and Frankel 2001) Film-fluid lubrication requires a minimum thickness to exceed three times the combined statistical surface roughness of

Analysis of Oil Film Generation on the Main Journal

bearing oil film pressure at 90 degrees was larger than 45 degrees for all timings Usually oil film pressure at 90 degrees is expected to be larger since it bears the load of high combustion pressure But in this case the oil film pressure result at No 2 main bearing at the No 1 cylinder combustion timing showed the opposite tendency

The Prediction of Liquid Film Journal Bearing Performance

Analyses of liquid film journal bearings rarely consider the reformation of the lubricant film This reformation normally takes place in the vicinity of a supply groove and is influenced by amongst other parameters the lubricant supply pressure

Hydrostatic and Hydrodynamic Bearings Selection Guide

A hydrodynamic bearing is typically a low-clearance assembly that relies on a film of oil (and occasionally air) that develops space while the spindle is rotating The bearings transmit (float) the load on self-renewing film of lubricant The most basic hydrodynamic bearing is the journal bearing

Hydrodynamic Lubrication

Fluid film or hydrodynamic lubrication is the term given when a shaft rotating in a bearing is supported by a layer or wedge of oil so that the shaft is not in contact with the bearing material The principle which allows large loads to be supported by this film of oil is similar to that which causes a car to aquaplane on a wet road surface
