Study on Static and Dynamic Characteristics of Tilting Pad Thrust Bearings with Journal Inclination

Abstract

This paper presents an analytical investigation of the oil film static and dynamic characteristics on journal inclination tilting pad thrust bearings. A three degree-of-freedom mathematic model for is used to calculate lubricated characteristics of oil film. Then, a systematical study to investigate the effect of journal inclination and elastic deformation on the static and dynamic characteristics for thrust bearing is presented. The study on the resistance of pressure and temperature with journal inclination bearing has great significance to ensure the stability and safety of thrust bearing.
