Oil film boundary analysis of spiral oil wedge sleeve bearing based on the dynamic loading conditions

Abstract

The area and location of cavitation change with time in the condition of dynamic loading. The cavitation location of sleeve bearing not only depends on axis location and velocity at a certain moment but also is affected by cavitation history, so the boundary condition need to be defined in the solution of lubrication equation. Based on the balance of axial inertia force, oil film force, and dynamic loading, the motion equation, generalized Reynolds equation and oil film thickness equation of spiral oil wedge sleeve bearing are established. The results show that the cavitation location and carrying capacity vary periodically with the change in time. The effect of dynamic loading and rotational speed on the oil film cavitation and carrying capacity is studied.
