plain bearings Flashcards
name 3 types of radial loads?
stationary
osculating load
reciprocating load
stationary load?
present on bearings supporting a horizontal rotor
oscillating load?
act on bearings in the crank end of connecting rods in engines.
much smaller clearances
advantages of split bearings?
very high load capacity ,high precision ,inexpensive to replace, quick to change out, available in over sizes and undersizes, wide range of material can be used in their construction
spherical seated bearings are usually used where?
turbines with a vary long span between bearings
what are bushings?
type of plain bearing that has not been split and can handle radial and axial loads
advantages of a wrapped bushing?
high fatigue strength
available in pre-finished sizes that are oversized until installed
(should only be used in lightly loaded non critical applications.
what is a solid bushing?
bored out of a solid piece of bearing material ( lead,bronze, teflon)
advantages of solid bushings?
can be bored out to non standard sizes,easily made from suitable round stock
they can accommodate deep lubricant grooves
limitations of solid bushings?
do not have the fatigue strength of wrapped bushings
what is a floating bushing?
consists of an outer bushing with a loosely fitted inner bushing
applications of water lubricated bushings?
used when water is continuously flushing the bearing and makes it impossible to retain any other lubricant
limitations of water lubricated bushings?
only suitable for light loads such as vertical shafts with out side load.
pre lubricated bushings are made of?
porous material soaked with lubricant ,lubricant squeezed out under load
dry lubricated bushing?
can run dry or with lubricants
available with large range of liner materials
not good for high speeds or heavy loads
hydro dynamic bearing is ?
most widely used type of plain bearing
depends on rotation of shaft to drag oil into the loaded area
at normal speed the bearing is supported on a full film of oil
What kind of Bearing at start up has virtually no oil in the loaded area which results in dry rubbing friction and boundary lubrication
Hydro dynamic bearings
Hydro dynamic bearings are designed to carry any load at?
Very high speeds
And unsteady load at high speeds, and develop a condition called what?
oil whirl
