THE ANALYSIS OF HYDRODYNAMIC PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION AND LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY IN THE GAP OF SLIDE JOURNAL BEARINGS WITH MICRO-GROOVES
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2017, Vol 272, Issue 2
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyse the distribution of hydrodynamic pressure, load carrying capacities, and friction force in the gap of the slide bearing on account of the type, number, and size of micro-grooves on the surface of the sleeve. It was assumed that micro-grooves were distributed equally on the circumference of the sleeve as well as parallel to its axis. Micro-bearings with micro-grooves are more and more often utilized in the technical applications, e.g., in HDD disks or in computer fans. It is advisable to carry out a numerical analysis on the influence of the number and the size of micro-grooves on the value of the basic flow parameters in the slide micro-bearing. A laminar flow of lubricating fluid and an isothermal model of the lubrication of the slide bearing was used for the analysis. A classical Newtonian model was applied as the constitutive equation. A cylindrical slide bearing with the finished length and smooth sleeve, and a full wrap angle was used for the research. The density and thermal conductivity of the oil were considered to be constant in the thin film of oil. The results of measurements of shape and sizes of micro-grooves in real micro-slide bearings were presented by the author in the previous publications. The results of that research are used at present to determine the preliminary assumptions concerning the shape and the size of the micro-grooves. The results obtained in the research show the minor influence of micro-grooves on the value of the friction force and a few percentages rate influence of micro-grooves on the value of load carrying capacity.
