Abstract: Lubricant viscosity is one of the key parameters in hydrostatic bearing research. In order to solve the load capacity of hydrostatic bearing in the heavy equipment, viscosity-temperature equation of lubricant film is established, and the viscosity-temperature curve is fitted by B-Spline curve. Finite volume method is used on numerical simulation of pressure field of heavy hydrostatic bearing in constant and variable viscosity respectively and in different rotational velocity, whereafter, viscosity influence on load capacity of heavy hydrostatic bearing is discussed. The results show that, viscosity impose a minor influence on cavity pressure of hydrostatic bearing when rational velocity is low; whereas, when rational velocity is high, especially to the heavy hydrostatic bearing which with high liner velocity influence of viscosity changing must be taken into account in calculation. Numerical simulation results reflect the pressure distributing state of bearing veritably; furthermore, these provide theoretical basis for hydrostatic bearing design and lectotype in practical application.

Abstract: Owing to setting viscosity of lubrication oil as a constant value will lead errors in hydrostatic bearing calculation, the influence of cavity depth on load capacity of heavy static bearing is analyzed in variable viscosity condition. Firstly, viscosity-temperature equations of oil film are established; secondly, viscosity-temperature curve is fitted by B-Spline; finally, using finite volume method, hydrostatic pressure field and dynamic pressure field of heavy hydrostatic bearing is calculated with different cavity depth at the same velocity, and influence of cavity depth on load capacity is revealed. The results show that, were the cavity depth shallow enough(≤2mm), hydrostatic pressure and dynamic pressure of cavity would decline rapidly with the cavity depth increasing; whereas, were cavity deep enough(≥2mm), hydrostatic pressure and dynamic pressure of cavity would change little with the cavity depth extending. This numerical simulation reflects real distribution of bearing pressure appropriately, and provides a theoretical basis for hydrostatic bearing design and lectotype.
