Numerical Study on the Static Characteristics of Novel Aerostatic Thrust Bearings Possessing Elastomer Capillary Restrictor and Bearing Surface
In this paper a novel design of aerostatic thrust bearing is proposed and is analyzed numerically. The capillary restrictor and bearing disk are made of elastomer like silicone and PU. The viscoelasticity of elastomer helps the capillary expand for more air flux and at the same time, allows conicity of the bearing surface to form when the air pressure is enhanced. Therefore the bearing has the ...
متن کاملA Computer Based Approach for the Design of the Orifice- Compensated with Feeding Pocket Annular Hydrostatic Thrust Bearings
The orifice-compensated with feeding pocket annular hydrostatic (OCFPAH) thrust bearing is a unique type of gas bearing with many distinguishing characteristics. It is finding many applications in ultra high-speed rotors. A computer code was written to overcome the difficulties involved in the design of such a bearing. Initially, the design charts were converted into the alternative equations u...
متن کاملDifferential Quadrature Method for the Analysis of Hydrodynamic Thrust Bearings
This paper presents the application of the method of generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) for the analysis of hydrodynamic thrust bearings. GDQ is a simple, efficient, high-order numerical technique and it uses the information on all grid points to approach the derivatives of the unknown function. The effectiveness of the solution technique is verified by comparing the GDQ computed results...
متن کاملPerformance Assessment in a Voice Coil Motor for Maximizing the Energy Harvesting with Gait Motions
In this study, an experimental approach is established to assess the performance of different beams coupled to a Voice Coil Motor (VCM) with the aim to maximize mechanically the energy harvesting in the inductive transducer that is included on it. The VCM is extracted from a recycled hard disk drive (HDD) and it is adapted for carrying out experimental tests of energy harvesting. Two individual...
متن کاملRemote z-scanning with a macroscopic voice coil motor for fast 3D multiphoton laser scanning microscopy
There is a high demand for 3D multiphoton imaging in neuroscience and other fields but scanning in axial direction presents technical challenges. We developed a focusing technique based on a remote movable mirror that is conjugate to the specimen plane and translated by a voice coil motor. We constructed cost-effective z-scanning modules from off-the-shelf components that can be mounted onto st...
