High speed motor journal bearings Details

     Higher speeds,loads and operating temperatures of modern machines are increasingly taking bearing design beyond the limits of whitemetal. Heat soak at standstill can also be a problem.

     We can offer the widest choice of bearing materials and specifications.The material of Copper chrome backed pads faced with whitemetal typically will reduce the pad surface temperature by 10°C at higher speeds.Steel backed pads faced with copper lead can operate at temperatures up to 40°C higher than whitemetal but require a hardened shaft surface.

     Centre pivoted pads are standard as they are preferred for bi-directional running,fool proof assembly and minimum spare stocks.At higher speeds (above 60m/s) offset pivots can offer some bearing surface temperature reductions and the dynamic characteristics (stiffness and damping) may also be preferable for some applications; all bearings can be supplied if required with offset pivot pads.

Does the design structure of high-speed motor journal bearings consider reducing radial and axial loads and vibrations?

When designing the journal bearing structure of a high-speed motor, it is necessary to consider reducing radial and axial loads and vibrations. Radial loads are forces perpendicular to the axis, and axial loads are forces along the axis.
To reduce radial loads, larger diameter journals and wider bearings can be selected. The larger diameter journal can disperse the radial load and reduce the impact of single point load on the bearing. At the same time, by increasing the width of the bearing, the load support area can be increased, the radial force can be dispersed, and the bearing capacity can be improved. In addition, consider using a full pressure lubrication system to ensure good lubrication of the bearings and reduce friction.
For axial loads, two-way bearings or structures such as side baffles can be used to increase stability. Bidirectional bearings can withstand forward and reverse axial forces at the same time, reducing the impact of loads on the bearings. The side baffle is a metal plate installed on both sides of the bearing, which can limit axial displacement and increase axial stability. In addition, increasing the number of bearings can also be considered in the design to reduce the load on a single bearing and improve the overall load-bearing capacity.
In addition, it is also necessary to consider reducing the impact of vibration on the journal bearing. Vibration can aggravate loading and fatigue damage, so measures need to be taken to reduce vibration. Vibration can be reduced by increasing the stiffness of the bearing and reducing the radial clearance of the bearing. At the same time, vibration damping pads can also be installed on the bearings or better assembly techniques can be used to reduce vibration transmission and reduce noise.
The design structure of high-speed motor journal bearings should consider reducing radial and axial loads and vibrations. Radial loads can be reduced by using larger diameter journals and wider bearings, increasing axial stability by using structures such as bidirectional bearings or side baffles, and by increasing bearing stiffness, installing vibration damping washers and Optimize assembly processes and other methods to reduce vibration. These measures will help improve the load capacity and working stability of the journal bearing and extend its service life.

Why do high-speed motor journal bearings need to have high axial load capacity and rigidity?

High-speed motor journal bearings need to have high axial load capacity and rigidity. During high-speed operation, journal bearings need to support and withstand the axial load generated during the operation of the shaft, and maintain a stable relative position between the shaft and the bearing.
The axial load capacity of a journal bearing refers to the axial load it can bear. During high-speed operation, the axial load on the bearing will change with the change of the rotor inertia, so a high axial load capacity is required to ensure the safe operation of the bearing. In order to improve the axial load-bearing capacity of journal bearings, carbide or ceramic materials can be used to make the bearings to enhance their pressure resistance.
The rigidity of a journal bearing refers to its ability to maintain a stable relative position between the shaft and the bearing. During high-speed operation, because the rotor is affected by centrifugal force, a large axial force will be generated, and the bearing needs to have high rigidity to remain stable under the action of this axial force. In order to improve the rigidity of the journal bearing, the bearing can be made of higher strength materials and support points can be added to the structure to increase its rigidity.
In addition to axial load capacity and rigidity, high-speed motor journal bearings also need to have high wear resistance and high rotational speed capabilities. Wear resistance refers to the bearing's ability to operate for a long time without damage, while speed capability refers to the speed range that the bearing can withstand. In order to improve the wear resistance of journal bearings, coating technology or surface treatment technology can be used to process the bearings to enhance their wear resistance. In order to improve the rotation speed capability of the journal bearing, lightweight technology in bearing design and manufacturing can be used to reduce the rotational inertia of the rotor, thereby increasing the rotation speed capability of the bearing.
High-speed motor journal bearings need to have high axial load-bearing capacity and rigidity, as well as high wear resistance and rotational speed capabilities. This needs to be achieved through technical means in material selection, manufacturing processes and surface treatment. Only journal bearings with these characteristics can ensure the normal operation and safety performance of the motor at high speeds.
