Effect of Cross-Sectional Profile of Circular Dimples on Hydrodynamic Lubrication Characteristics of Thrust Bearings
Journal Title: Journal of Materials and Engineering - Year 2023, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The effects of three types of dimples with different internal structures on the fluid lubrication characteristics of thrust bearings were investigated. The load-carrying capacity and the frictional torque were measured. The measurements were performed with a fixed constant film thickness. The behaviours of cavitation bubbles occurred within the dimple were observed through the rotating glass plate. Three types of internal structures of dimples were tested: cylindrical, sphere and conical. The measurement results were simulated by the Reynolds equation. As the results, the load-carrying capacity increased as the rotational speed increased. The cylindrical internal structure built up the largest pressure at the trailing edge, and consequently the largest load-carrying capacity. The frictional torque also increased with increasing the rotational speed. However, the effect of the internal structure on the frictional torque was not significant.
