Performance Analysis of Multirecess Angled-Surface Slot-Compensated Conical Hydrostatic Bearing

Abstract

Angled-surface slot-compensated hydrostatic bearing (ASHB) is a novel type of hydrostatic bearing which is potentially applicable in rotary tables. However, it has not been sufficiently studied in available literature. In this paper the mathematic model for ASHB was built and solved by the finite element method (FEM). The influence of semicone angle on static and dynamic performance characteristics was theoretically investigated. The simulated results have been compared with that of the traditional fixed slot-compensated hydrostatic bearing (FSHB) on the same geometric and operating conditions. Results show that the performance of ASHB is better than that of FSHB; the studied bearing with a large semicone angle is superior in power consumption; the clearance width ratio of the restricting gap to the bearing gap has an obvious effect on bearing performance.

A review of hydrostatic bearing system: Researches and applications

“…SC Sharma et al 126 used FEM to analyze the carrying capability of fourpocket hydrostatic conical journal compensated by caterpillar restrictors. XB Zuo et al 127 researched a slot-compensated hydrostatic conical bearing, while PG Khakse et al 9 proposed a model of conical journal bearing without oil pockets and compensated with caterpillar restrictor which has thinner film thickness and higher precision. Figure 43 shows the model.…”
