Experimental Investigation of Eccentricity Ratio, Friction, and Oil Flow of Short Journal Bearings

Description: An experimental investigation was conducted to obtain performance data on bearings of length-diameter ratios of 1, 1/2, and 1/4 for comparison with theoretical curves. A 1.375-inch-diameter bearing was tested at speeds up to 6000 rpm and with unit loads from 0 to 900 pounds per square inch. Experimental data for eccentricity ratio and friction followed single lines when plotted against a theoretically derived capacity number, which is equal to Sommerfeld number times the square of the length-di… more

Preliminary investigation of molybdenum disulfide-air-mist lubrication for roller bearings operating to DN values of 1 x 10(exp 6) and ball bearings operating to temperatures of 1000 degrees F

Description: The effectiveness of molybdenum disulfide MoS2 as a bearing lubricant was determined at high temperature and at high speeds. A 1-inch-bore ball bearing operated at temperatures to 1000 F, a speed of 1725 rpm, and a thrust load of 20 pounds when lubricated only with MoS2-air mist. A 75-millimeter-bore cageless roller bearing, provided with a MoS2-syrup coating before operation, operated at DN values to 1 x 10(exp 6) with a load of 368 pounds.

Preliminary comparison of 17- and 75-millimeter-bore cageless cylindrical roller bearings with conventional cylindrical roller bearings at high speeds

Description: Preliminary results at high speeds indicate lower bearing temperatures, less internal bearing wear, and greater reliability of the conventional, cage-type cylindrical roller bearings than of either full-complement or special cageless roller bearings of the types investigated, although the latter bearing types have been operated successfully to DN values of 1.0 X 10 superscript 6.

Pneumo MSG-325 Lathe

Description: The LASL Shop Department has recently installed a Pneumo MSG-325 two-axis contouring lathe. This one-microinch resolution lathe, which utilizes both air-bearing spindle and air bearing slide ways, was purchased primarily for miniature work, but can also single point diamond turn metal optics.

Ambient-Temperature Passive Magnetic Bearings for Flywheel Energy Storage Systems

Description: Based on prior work at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory ambient-temperature passive magnetic bearings are being adapted for use in high-power flywheel energy storage systems developed at the Trinity Flywheel Power company. En route to this goal specialized test stands have been built and computer codes have been written to aid in the development of the component parts of these bearing systems. The Livermore passive magnetic bearing system involves three types of elements, as follows: … more

Performance of 110-millimeter-bore M-1 tool steel ball bearings at high speeds, loads, and temperatures

Description: Report presenting eleven 110-millimeter-bore ball thrust bearings made of M-1 tool steel were operated over a range of DN values at mean outer-race temperatures to 678 degrees Fahrenheit. Testing occurred at a variety of thrust loads, radial loads, oil flows, and oil inlet temperatures. Results regarding the difference between tests without heat addition and tests with heat addition, fatigue failures, performance of cage materials, and oil-interruption tests are provided.

Discrepancies Between Theoretical and Observed Behavior of Cyclically Loaded Bearings

Description: Note presenting an analysis of discrepancies between theory and the experimental behavior of a cyclically loaded shaft rotating in a sleeve bearing. For constant loads rotating at one-half the frequency of shaft rotation, eccentricity ratios were found to be unity when kerosene was used to lubricate the test bearing.

Lubrication and cooling studies of cylindrical-roller bearings at high speeds

Description: The results of an experimental investigation of the effect of oil inlet distribution and oil inlet temperature on the inner and outer-race temperatures of 75-millimeter-bore (size 215) cylindrical-roller inner-race-riding cage-type bearings are reported. A radial-load test rig was used over a range of dn values (product of the bearing bore in mm and the shaft speed in r.p.m) from 0.3 x 10(5) to 1.2 x 10(6) and static radial loads from 7 to 1113 pounds.

Tests of Lead-Bronze Bearings in the DVL Bearing-Testing Machine

Description: "The lead-bronze bearings tested in the DVL machine have proven themselves very sensitive to load changes as in comparison with bearings of light metal. In order to prevent surface injuries and consequently running interruptions, the increase of the load has to be made in small steps with sufficient run-in time between steps. The absence of lead in the running surface, impurities in the alloy (especially iron) and surface irregularities (pores) decreases the load-carrying capacity of the bearin… more
