Investigation on the stability and anti-eccentric load margin of a novel structure bearing lubricated by low viscosity medium

The paper studies the anti-eccentric load margin of a novel structure bearing lubricated by low viscosity medium. The lubrication dynamic model considering journal inclination angle is established. The effects of different speeds, loads, and tilted angles on the interface attributes of the bearing under typical working conditions are studied. The results show that the special structure bearing has self-stability margin of anti-tilted and anti-eccentric load. Especially under different speed conditions, analyses show that the eccentric load has little influence on the static/dynamic characteristics of the bearing. Under the same conditions, the stability margin of the bearing is higher than that of traditional bearings. The research provides a theoretical basis for the application of such kinds of special structure bearings.
