SOME ASPECTS REGARDING INSTANTANEOUS SQUEEZE FORCE TO THE NARROW RADIAL BEARING WORKING UNDER HARD SHOCKS

Marius Alexandrescu, Radu Coteţiu, Adriana Coteţiu, Marius Cosma, Mihai Tiron, Dinu Darabă

Abstract: Due to the very short time of loading radial bearings exposed to shocks and vibrations, of about 0.5-1 ms, the effect of the lubricant expulsion be prevalent in the achieving of the self-carrying film. We consider only the approaching motion between spindle/axle and bushing on the direction of the center line, without the rotation of the spindle/axle (the case of the non-rotating bearing). We present the determining relationship of carriage in non-dimensional form for narrow radial bearings exposed to shocks and vibrations, as well as the determining relationships of the lubricant minimum thickness in relation to the dynamic loading.

Keywords: impulse loading, squeeze film, radial hydrodynamic bearing.
