Effect of Clearance on Thermodynamic Characteristics of Woven Liner Spherical Plain Bearing

Abstract:

The mechanical property of woven liner spherical plain bearing in different clearance has been analyzed using the finite element software. It indicated that when the positive clearance of woven liner spherical plain bearing is 100um, the maximum stress of its inner ring is the lowest. The position of the maximum stress is in the middle of the inner ring. That makes the bearing has a bigger carry capacity. Based on above analysis, the thermal properties between the friction pair of woven liner spherical plain bearing which clearance is 100um is also analyzed. The node temperature variation trend of inner ring and liner along with the analysis process is obtained.
