Abstract

AbstractThis work introduces a new sort of mechatronic hydrodynamic journal bearing for controlling vibrations in rotating machinery. This mechatronic design aims at improving an increasingly demanded bearing. The new mechatronic fluid pivot journal bearing is built upon a tilting pad journal bearing with a spherical pivot modified to inject pressurized oil into the pivot-pad gap. It is pursued that the bearing properties can be affected via controlling the pivot behaviour. The initial concept is presented followed by the design of each subsystem. An isothermal model is utilized. Results show a lab-size bearing ready for being experimentally validated. It is concluded that the proposed design poses a solution for common problems of hertzian contact based pivot hydrodynamic bearings.
