On the Characteristics of Misaligned Journal Bearings
نویسندگان
چکیده
Journal bearing misalignment arise generally from the shaft deformation under load, deflection of the shaft, manufacturing and assembly errors, improper installation, and asymmetric loading. During operations, misalignment has a considerable effect on the static and dynamic performances. It could cause wear, vibration and even system failure. In this article, a literature review of misalignment of the journal bearings is presented. The basic theory for the misalignment and some results for the circular journal bearing are also presented to show the general trends of the misalignment.

Thermohydrodynamic Characteristics of Journal Bearings Running under Turbulent Condition
A thermohydrodynamic (THD) analysis of turbulent flow in journal bearings is presented based on the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) techniques. The bearing has infinite length and operates under incompressible and steady conditions. In this analysis, the numerical solution of Navier-Stokes equations with the equations governing the kinetic energy of turbulence and the dissipation rate, couple...
متن کاملShaft Misalignment Detection using Stator Current Monitoring
This paper inspects the misaligned of shaft by using diagnostic medium such as current and vibration. Misalignments in machines can cause decrease in efficiency and in the long-run it may cause failure because of unnecessary vibration, stress on motor, bearings and short-circuiting in stator and rotor windings. In this study, authors investigate the onset of instability on a shaft mounted on jo...
متن کاملH∞ Robust Controller Design and Experimental Analysis of Active Magnetic Bearings with Flexible Rotor System
H∞ controller for active magnetic bearings (AMBs) with flexible rotor system was designed in this paper. The motion equations of AMBs and flexible rotor system are built based on finite element methods (FEM). Weighting function matrices of H∞ controller for AMBs are studied for both the sensitivity and the complementary sensitivity of H∞ control theory. The simulation shows that the H∞ control ...
متن کاملMaintenance Improvement of Ball Bearings For Industrial Applications
In this research, the life expectancy of ball bearings in industrial applications is estimated based on known parameters. The overall mathematical calculation of such behavior is based on the theory of Lundberg and Palmgren. The proposed life estimation equation however lacks certain points to make it qualified as universal. A firm conclusion therefore could not be obtained on the basis of this...
متن کاملInvestigating the Dynamics of a Ball-Spring Autobalancer in a Rotor with Non-Linear Bearings
Although the traditional automatic ball balancer (ABB) has numerous advantages, it has two major deficiencies, i.e., it has a limited balance stable region and it increases the vibration amplitude of the rotor at transient state. These deficiencies limit the applicability of ABBs. In this regard, a new type of ABB called “the Ball-spring autobalancer” has been proposed to resolve the mentioned ...
