Dynamic tilt characteristics of aerostatic rectangular double-pad thrust bearings with compound restrictors

Aerostatic rectangular double-pad thrust bearings with compound restrictors have often been used in linear guideway systems of ultra-precision machine tools and precision measuring equipments, because high bearing stiffness is easily achieved in these bearings. However, in actual devices, various dynamic loads as well as static loads are imposed on these aerostatic bearings. Therefore, in this paper, the dynamic stiffness and damping coefficient of this type of bearing for tilt motion of a shaft are investigated, both theoretically and experimentally. It was consequently found that the dynamic tilt characteristics of the aerostatic thrust bearings considered in this paper are greatly influenced not only by design parameters such as the groove position and the groove depth but also by the squeeze effect.     

Numerical and experimental analysis of aerostatic thrust bearings with porous restrictors

The finite element method is used to predict the performance of aerostatic thrust bearings with a complete porous surface. Results obtained by a 1D and 3D source flow model derived from D’Arcy’s law are compared for rectangular porous bearings having an infinite width. It turns out that the 1D source flow model is adequate for practical design parameters. For a circular aerostatic porous thrust bearing results calculated with several mathematical models for the source flow and slip flow are compared with experimental results. A relatively simple model incorporating unflatness and deformation of the bearing surface correlates well with the experimentally determined bearing performance.

Combined finite volume and finite element method for convection-diffusion-reaction equation

A combined finite volume and finite element method is presented for solving the unsteady scalar convection-diffusion-reaction equation in two dimensions. The finite volume method is used to discretize the convection-diffusion-reaction equation. The higher-order reconstruction of unknown quantities at the cell faces is determined by Taylor’s series expansion. To arrive at an explicit scheme, the temporal derivative term is estimated by employing the idea of local expansion of unknown along the characteristics. The concept of the finite element technique is applied to determine the gradient quantities at the cell faces. Robustness and accuracy of the method are evaluated by using available analytical and numerical solutions of the two-dimensional pure-convection, convection-diffusion and convection-diffusion-reaction problems. Numerical test cases have shown that the method does not require any artificial diffusion to improve the solution stability.

Numerical investigation of static and dynamic characteristics of aerostatic thrust bearings with small feed holes

Recently, laser beam machining and micro drills have made it easier to manufacture small feed holes of less than 0.1 mm diameter. Accordingly, aerostatic bearings with these small feed holes have become commercially available for improving bearing performance. In this work, an aerostatic annular thrust bearing with small feed holes of less than 0.05 mm diameter was treated and the static and the dynamic characteristics of this type of bearing were investigated numerically. In numerical calculations, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to determine discharge coefficients for a small feed hole and the finite difference method (FDM) was used to obtain the bearing characteristics. In addition, the characteristics of this type of bearing were compared with those of aerostatic thrust bearings with typical compound restrictors to show clearly the features of this type of bearing.

In addition, the effect of the bearing surface roughness on the bearing characteristics was analyzed experimentally and numerically.
