Friction forces in conical intelligent micro-bearings
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2009, Vol 226, Issue 4
Abstract
In this paper is presented the method of friction force calculations in slide conical micro-bearings occurring in HDD computer discs. The authors compare they’re own results with the results that were obtained by the G.H. Jang research team. The considered micro-bearings have intelligent memory features. G.H. Jang attain memory properties through the nano- grooves on the cylindrical micro-bearing surfaces, which implies the whirling motion and whirling flows of the lubricant in the bearing gap. In presented paper, the memory effects are obtained by the conical shapes of the journal and sleeve and additionally by the grooves with which depths of about 25 nm. Such shapes increase and regulates the proper friction force values and whirling motion and therefore increase the bearing memory properties.<br/><br/>
