Preliminary study of pressure profile in hydrodynamic lubrication journal bearing

In hydrodynamic lubrication, the pressure condition of the fluid is critical to ensure good performance of the lubricated machine elements such as journal bearings. In the present study, an experimental work was conducted to determine the pressure distribution around the circumference of a journal b...

520 3 |a In hydrodynamic lubrication, the pressure condition of the fluid is critical to ensure good performance of the lubricated machine elements such as journal bearings. In the present study, an experimental work was conducted to determine the pressure distribution around the circumference of a journal bearing and fluid frictional force of the bearing caused by shearing actions. A journal diameter of 100mm with a 1/2 length-to-diameter ratio was used. Pressure results for 600 RPM speed at different radial loads were obtained. The experimental results were compared to predicted values from established Raimondi and Boyd charts. It was observed that the location of the maximum pressure for the given operating conditions is close to the predicted value. © 2012 The Authors.
