摘要

The fluid film breakdown in large spring-supported thrust bearings was examined experimentally for low rotor speeds. Under these conditions, the lubrication was hydrodynamic rather than thermohydrodynamic and thus, the limit of hydrodynamic lubrication was sought. A thrust bearing test facility was used to test three bearings with various loads, speeds, and lubricant viscosities. Power loss and oil temperatures were measured and, using elementary theory, these measured quantities were linked to friction and average fluid film thickness in the bearing. A dimensionless performance number was developed and correlated with the coefficient of friction based on the power loss measurements. The breakdown of fluid film lubrication at the limit of hydrodynamic lubrication was established for an average performance number. The accuracy of the experimental findings was explored by comparing the friction and film thickness calculated from the measurements with the predictions of a comprehensive software package. Some general agreement was obtained. The relationship between the lambda ratio and a modified performance number was also examined based on typical surface roughness measurements. Although the procedures developed did not provide a high level of precision, some clear insights were gained into the thrust bearing behaviour at the limit of hydrodynamic lubrication. In particular, a large spring-supported thrust bearing under a typical load with a common lubricant was shown to sustain predominantly hydrodynamic lubrication at rotational speeds as low as 10 rpm.
