Lubricant viscosity is one of the key parameters in hydrostatic bearing research. In order to solve the load capacity of hydrostatic bearing in the heavy equipment, viscosity-temperature equation of lubricant film is established, and the viscosity-temperature curve is fitted by B-Spline curve. Finite volume method is used on numerical simulation of pressure field of heavy hydrostatic bearing in constant and variable viscosity respectively and in different rotational velocity, whereafter, viscosity influence on load capacity of heavy hydrostatic bearing is discussed. The results show that, viscosity impose a minor influence on cavity pressure of hydrostatic bearing when rational velocity is low; whereas, when rational velocity is high, especially to the heavy hydrostatic bearing which with high liner velocity influence of viscosity changing must be taken into account in calculation. Numerical simulation results reflect the pressure distributing state of bearing veritably; furthermore, these provide theoretical basis for hydrostatic bearing design and lectotype in practical application.
With heavy NC machine tool is widely used in many oil pad round guide hydrostatic bearing as the research object, in the under condition of variable viscosity, establish oil film viscosity-temperature equation. Adopt finite volume method, simulation the hydrostatic bearing internal fluid temperature field under different flow rates on the speed of 6R / min. Numerical simulation hydrostatic thrust bearing oil film temperature field, can find a general high temperature region, and then take effective control temperature. It can achieve the hydrostatic thrust bearing oil film temperature field prediction for engineering practical oil chamber structure, offer the theoretical foundation for optimization design.
Taking multi-oil-cavity and multi-oil-pad hydrostatic bearings as studied projects, firstly make brief instructions for structure characteristics and working principal of hydraulic system; Then, build three-dimensional models of multi-oil-cavity and multi-oil-pad hydrostatic bearings respectively. Adopting finite volume method, oil film mesh is generated by universal finite analysis software CFD; then, carry on numerical simulations for pressure distribution and temperature distribution of the two studied hydrostatic thrust bearing under various viscosity, and make comparative analysis for difference between the two studied hydrostatic thrust bearing. Based on the analysis of numerical simulation results, the conclusions whether oil-return groove is set for hydrostatic bearing could be received. Simulation results reveal truly the influence of setting oil-return groove or not on hydrostatic thrust bearing, and improve structure design for hydrostatic thrust bearing.
This work describes a simulation research concerning dynamic effect of multi-pad hydrostatic thrust bearing having rectangular recess, sector recess, ellipse recess and I-shaped recess in order to solve the loading capacity of the hydrostatic thrust bearing. Three-dimensional pressure field of gap fluid between the rotation worktable and the base has been computed by using the Finite Volume Method. This study theoretically analyzes the influence of recess shape on dynamic effect of the bearing according to computational fluid dynamics and lubricating theory, and the simulation results indicate that an improved characteristic will be affected by recess shape easily. Through this method, the safety of a multi-pad hydrostatic thrust bearing having different cavities can be forecasted, and the optimal loading capacity of such products can be achieved, so it can provide reasonable data for design, lubrication, experience and thermal deformation computation for hydrostatic thrust bearing.
The pressure field of the clearance oil film of the hydrostatic bearing in varies velocities was simulated based on Finite Volume Method (FVM) by the software of Computational Fluid Dynamics. In this article, a conclusion could be drawn that the viscosity has great influences on the pressure in the heavy hydrostatic bearing and it cannot be neglected especially in high rotating speed. The results of numerical calculations provide internal flow status inside the bearing, which would help the design of the oil cavity structure of the bearing in engineering practice.
