Abstract: The FEM model of lubricating oil film was built with mill oil-film bearing as the research target, the analysis system of magnetic-fluid lubricating oil film for oil-film bearing was developed. APDL and CEL languages were applied to compile the inner analytical programs, and the combination of VB, ANSYS Mechanical with ANSYS CFX was perfectly realized. Through the numerical simulation of magnetic-fluid lubricating film, the load-carrying performances of oil-film bearing with magnetic-fluid lubrication were analyzed, and the relationship among magnetic field intensity with oil-film pressure and temperature was quantitatively calculated. The numerical results have shown that the magnetic-fluid lubrication has obvious influences on oil-film pressure when magnetic field was applied on oil-film bearing, the lubricating viscosity increases with the magnetic-fluid intensity, and the oil-film pressure and temperature also increase with magnetic-field intensity. However, the increasing increment of oil-film temperature is far lower than that of oil-film pressure. The above conclusions prove that magnetic fluid with proper magnetic field can effectively improve the load-carrying capacity of lubricating oil film and enhances the stability of oil-film pressure. Moreover, the adjustable intelligent oil-film pressure with magnetic field is deduced to be feasible.

Abstract: The oil film have many excellences such as bigger load bearing capacity, longer life, wider velocity range, lower friction etc. The traditional design method is experience test. Even the design parameters could meet the application requirements, but they can not exert the best performance of the oil film bearing. The relationship between load bearing capacity and materials, lubricants, design parameters and structural characteristics of oil film bearing was analysed. To improve the load capacity and run at the optimal state, the objective function was built to optimize the main parameters. Optimization results showed that the load bearing capacity has been greatly improved.

Abstract: Under the given lubricating oil, rolling speed and rolling pressure, the finite element analysis software ANSYS Workbench and CFX were used to analyze the lubricating oil film and bearing by two-way fluid-to-solid coupling method, and the deformation and force of oil film and bushing with different relative clearances were calculated, as well as those with consideration of oil film temperature. Moreover, the fatigue limit theory was used to obtain the best relative clearance, which can provide theoretical data to the bearing structure optimization.

Abstract: The lubricating system is the critical segment to ensure the good operation of bearing subsystem and the whole mill system. To keep pace with the advanced domestic and outdoors technologies, it is emergent to design and develop the mechatronic test rig of mill oil-film bearing. According to the detailed design parameters and design principles of lubricating system, its main modules and the lubricating mechanism are designed and implemented. The according 2D drawings and 3D solid models are successfully established. Consequently, the prototype is developed, and runs well in practical tests on mechanical parameters of mill bearing. Moreover, some further improvements are also made to better the performances of lubricating system.

Abstract: From a manufacturing viewpoint, the manufacturing tolerances of a hydrodynamic journal bearing system are inevitable. To examine and understand the effect of manufacturing tolerances on dynamic characteristics of a hydrodynamic journal bearing system can help engineers to confidently choose reasonable tolerances at design stage or to enable the system with certain manufacturing tolerances to operate closer to the theoretical predictions. This study presented a theoretical analysis method to determine and demonstrate the effect of manufacturing tolerances on bearing stiffness and damping, in which the concepts of limits, tolerances and nominal dimensions are introduced in. The results show that the manufacturing tolerances of a hydrodynamic journal bearing system have profound influences on the bearing stiffness and damping, and the magnitude of effect depends on system design parameters in the form of Sommerfeld number. The presented method will better predict system stiffness and damping characteristics.

Abstract: A new coupling numerical algorithm has been developed to integrate Finite Difference Method (FDM) with Boundary Element Method (BEM) to analyze shear performance of oil film by iteratively solving a series of equations such as the film flow velocity and shear stress equations for contact bodies in bearing system. With consideration of the variations of viscosity and density with pressure and temperature, the effects of shear stress of oil film layers on lubrication performance of contact surfaces under different loadcases were discussed. Moreover, Germany-made Anton Paar MRD (Magnetic Rheologic Device) was used to determine the relationship between the viscosity and shear stress of lubricating oil. The conclusions were verified to be beneficial to the further study on lubricating performance of heavy contact components and to prolong their service lives.

Abstract: To solve the three-segment loop-like damage of sleeve under rolling load case, to quantitatively analyze bearing failure mechanism, a mathematical model of oil-film bearing for producing the 3-D contact pressure and shear stress distribution between sleeve and roll neck was developed by 3D elastic contact boundary element method. Some programs for automatically creating 3-D surface grid model have been developed to check data and display deformation, as well as to plot the deformation fields of roller and sleeve. Analytical results provide an effective way to decrease wear and adhesive damage of sleeve, and help to increase the load capacity of oil-film bearing and service life as well.
