Definitions and objectives

The role of a bearing is to provide relative positioning and rotational freedom while transmitting a load between a shaft and a housing. There are two general types of bearings:

1.

Rolling-contact bearings (anti-friction bearings, rolling bearings). In the rolling-contact bearings the load is transmitted by rolling rather than by sliding. bearings). In journal bearings, the load is transmitted by sliding and the problem of this class of bearings is essentially a lubrication

2. Journal Bearings (plain bearings, bushings, sleeve

problem.

Definitions and objectives

cylindrical or semicylindrical bushing made of a suitable material. The Journal is the part of shaft or pin in bearing

Journal Bearings:
Among applications:

1. High speed, high temperature, high varying loads:

Automotive engines: connecting rod, crankshaft,Metal alloys Turbo machinery: Metal alloys Nylon, Teflon, rubber

2. Light loads, low speeds with little or no lubrication:

Hydrodynamic Lubrication (HDL)

For lubricated bearing the minimum film thickness h0 occurs to the left of load line because the shaft is pushed by the pressure build up on the right. The shaft is playing the role of a pump.

Tower investigated bathtype lubrication in 157 partial bearing. He was able to determine the pressure distribution in oil film in axial and radial directions. Reynolds used Towers findings to propose a relationship between friction, pressure and velocity. His work is given under mathematical form in the following.

Two groups of variables in the design of sliding bearings (eq:12.12) r N r A- The independent variables: f = (12 12) c P 1. The viscosity , c 2. The load per unit of projected bearing area, P (unit Load) 3. The speed N=NJ (see equation 12-13) 4. The bearing dimensions r, c, and l (important l/d) B- The dependent Variables or performance factors: 1. The coefficient of friction f 2. The temperature rise T 3. The volume flow rate of oil Q 4. The minimum film thickness ho

The first (A) are somewhat under designer control and the second (B) are not. Certain limitations should be set for variables B and A varied to satisfy them

General Design Criteria for Journal Bearings

(See Lab Manual for details)

1. The value of the important parameter l/d is taken between 0.25 and 1.5. Values up to 2 and 3 were used in earlier designs. Nowadays, the value of l/d is confined between 0.25 and 0.75. Short bearings are preferred when shaft deflections and misalignments are expected. 2. The nominal value of clearance ratio r/c can be taken approximately as:
1000 for precision bearings when 25<d<150 mm 500 for general machinery 250 for rough machinery The choice of the values of r/c depends on the tolerances and surface roughness of shaft and bearing.

3. The minimum film thickness h0 can be estimated from

Trumplers design criteria:

h0 = 0.00025d

(in) (mm)

4.

5. 6.

The outlet temperature of the oil should be kept below 250F (121C). A value around 70C (160F) is usually specified as the average operating temperature. Starting unit load Pst=Wst/ld is kept below 300 psi Design factor on starting load should be at least 2.

Sample problems on HDL

The analysis problems are of two general categories: 1) When the viscosity is specified as in example 121 through 12-4 of 7th ed. The solution is straight forward. 2) The problem becomes more complex when only the lubricant inlet temperature is specified. To solve this type of problem an iterative procedure has to be followed. An example of the procedure is given in the following.

Sample problem on Design of HDL Journal Bearings (to be solved during help session) Design a journal bearing to carry a radial load of 1500 lb while the shaft rotates at 850 rpm. The shaft stress analysis determines that the minimum acceptable diameter at the journal is 2.10 in. The shaft is part of a machine requiring good precision. Power loss in the bearing should not exceed 1% of the 15 hp driving power.

Procedures for design of oil lubricated journal bearings A- Full-film (Hydrodynamic) Lubrication
Step1: Often, the shaft diameter at the bearing is determined by strength and deflection analyses. If the shaft diameter is not known Table 12-5 or Table 288 of the Standard Handbook of Machine Design can be utilized to get a rough estimate of the unit load P=W/ld (with W being the applied load). This value is combined with the value of l/d (ratio of bearing length to bearing diameter), determined in the next step, to find the dimensions of the bearing.

Procedures for design of oil lubricated journal bearings

Step2: The value of the important parameter l/d is taken between 0.25 and 1.5. Values up to 3 were used in earlier designs. Nowadays the value of l/d is confined between 0.25 and 0.75. Short bearings are preferred when shaft deflections and misalignments are expected. Step3: The minimum film thickness h0 can be estimated from one of these equations:
h0 = 0.00025d (in)
h0 0.0002 + 0.00004d h0 0.005 + 0.0004d (in) (mm)

Procedures for design of oil lubricated journal bearings

Step4: The nominal value of clearance ratio r/c (r = bearing radius and c = clearance) can be taken approximately as: 1000 for precision bearings when 25<d<150 mm 500 for general machinery 250 for rough machinery The choice of the values of r/c depends on the tolerances and surface roughness of shaft and bearing. This guideline when combined with the results of steps 1 and 2 will allow you to get the nominal value of c.

Procedures for design of oil lubricated journal bearings

Step5: Now the bearing characteristic number (S = Sommerfeld number) can be determined from the chart of Fig. 12.164 . Step6: Next, the viscosity of the oil is determined 2 using: c P = S r N Where: P (unit load) = W/ld, with W being the applied load. N = speed in revolutions per second.

Procedures for design of oil lubricated journal bearings

Step7: The outlet temperature of the oil should be kept between 200F (93C) and 250F (121C). A value of 70C (160F) is usually specified as the average operating temperature [2, 9, 18-20]. The chart of Fig 12-11 or 12-12 [3,4]) can be entered to select an oil grade. If the selected lubricant has a viscosity higher than the value computed in step 6, recalculate S and find the new h0. Step8: Now, find the friction coefficient from Fig. 12-17. The friction coefficient should be kept as low as possible consistent with h0 (i.e. in the optimum zone between the minimum friction line and the maximum load line in Fig. 12.14 [3,4]. As a general rule friction coefficients below 0.01 are acceptable (see Table 28-1 of the Standard Handbook of Machine Design [5]).

Procedures for design of oil lubricated journal bearings

Step9: from: Power loss due to friction can be calculated
fWrN H= 1050 (hp )

Its value can be compared to the input power to take a decision concerning f and h0.
Step10: Select a suitable bearing material from Table 12-5 [3,4] or from Tables 28-2 to 28-4 of the Handbook [5]. Unit load, maximum operating temperature and conditions should be used as criteria for material selection.

Step11: Write a summary of your design results.

Self-Contained Bearings
Two general types of lubrication: 1) Oil-Ring and 2) Oil Bath Since the warm lubricant stays within the bearing housing; it should be designed such that the heat generated by friction is dissipated. As seen above the heat generated (in Btu/s) by friction can be estimated:

Clearance
Among the independent variables under designers control, clearance is the most difficult to hold accurate during manufacture and It may also increase during service because of wear. When selecting a clearance for a JB a number of performance variables and expected in service wear should be taken into account.

Mechanical Properties Conformability: to compensate for small shaft misalignments and deflections (i.e. Low E and yield: Lead base Babbit=90% Pb + 10% Cu) Embeddability: to allow foreign particles to become embedded into the bearing which prevents scratching of shaft and sleeve (Tin base and Lead base Babbit) High Fatigue Strength: to support the compressive cyclic loading (Trimetal, Silver, Steel base, Solid Brass)

2. 3. Thermal Properties High Thermal Conductivity: to remove heat rapidly from the bearing (Ag, Cu, Pb). Thermal Coefficient of Expansion not too different from that of casing and shaft. Metallurgical Properties Compatibility: to avoid fusing under heat and contact dissimilar materials (Mainly not same melting point) for shaft and bearing are more compatible than similar materials. Chemical Properties Corrosion Resistant: to resist corrosion by lubricant improvement additives (Sn, Al, Ag...).

Non-Metallic Materials (Table 12-6) such as Wood, Rubber, Carbon Graphite, Derlin, Teflon, Nylon Most have low thermal conductivity.

Boundary Lubrication
thin-film, Olite, Oiles, bushed pin In certain applications boundary lubrication should be designed for (see your lab manual and earlier notes and example for the procedure of boundary lubrication design). Boundary lubrication should be expected for slow speeds (start ups and shut downs) : U<10 ft/min (0.05 m/s).. In boundary lubrication the bearing performance depends essentially on boundary film. The coefficient of friction is reduced by using animal and vegetable oils containing fatty acids that stick to metal surfaces.

Materials for Boundary (thin-film, boundary friction, oilite, oiles and bushed pins)-Lubrication
