Analysis of Eccentric Load Effect for Tiliting Pad Journal Bearing

Abstract:

Most of the studies about tilting pad journal bearings are for load-on-pad or load-between-pad tilting pad journal bearings, and for the other loading forms, the performance are often estimated by the performance of the two limited conditions, that may reduce the reliablity of bearing design or lead to waste materials in design. To obtained the influence of the load directions on the static and dynamic characteristics of the tilting pad journal bearing, which is called eccentric load effect in this papers, the performance calculation of the tilting pad journal bearing in different load directions is operated with a self-designed program. The results show that the load directions have considerable effects both on the static and dynamic characteristics of the tilting pad journal bearing, for the operating condition that load direction changed rapidly, it need performance analysis of the bearing in its special loading forms to enhance the precision and efficiency of bearing design, espacially where the dynamic performance of the tilting pad journal bearing is demanding.
