INTRODUCTION:

  The term Sliding bearing refers to a type of bearing where two conformal surfaces usually the stationary bearing and a moving shaft slide relative to one another with load distributed directly across the interface. A suitable lubricant may be employed to reduce the friction between these two surfaces. In fluid film bearings, this lubricant builds up a layer of sufficient thickness such that the two surfaces are completely separated.

Tilted Pad Thrust Bearing are designed to transfer high axial load from rotating shaft with minimum power loss. Bearing consist of circumferential pads & each pad is free to tilt to create self lubricating hydrodynamic film .

The number of parameters which affect the bearing are categorized as operating parameter and performance parameters.

Speed of rotation, applied load, surface curvature & type of lubrication are the operating parameter while max. pressure generated ,temperature of bearing , oil viscosity ,minimum film thickness, surface wear are performance parameters.

CONSTRUCTION :

Tilting pad thrust bearing is an assembly of number of tilted pads, Runner, lubricating oil, cooling coils and casing.

Bearing pads are individual plates which are free to tilt about their individual pivots. usually three or more pads are used .

Pads are made up of two layers of materials .Face layer of pad is Babbit or PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) with 2- 3 mm thickness. This layer is supported by MS pad called as backing.

Lubricating oil is provided in housing as a bath or fed either to centre of housing near shaft or to the leading edge of pad with external aid.

Depending upon the method of lubrication, it is also differentiated as Flooded lubrication or Directed lubrication.

Runner of bearing is attached to rotating shaft whose thrust need to support by bearing.

WORKING: In Titling pad thrust bearing, Runner and pads are separated by an oil film during

operation.

When the runner is stationary ,the pads are in direct contact with pad .As shaft with runner rotates form an oil film between the pad and runner.

Each Pad will tilt to the some angle which forms converging wedge. The flow constriction due to wedge acts as a bottleneck, which causes slowing down the flow rate across the pad from the inlet edge towards the trailing edge.

The gradual reduction of oil volume in the gap leads to rise in pressure of the oil film which lifts the shaft.

GENERAL VIEW OF THE TEST RIG:

Page 8: A Project on Pressure and temperature analysis of tilted pad thrust bearing using Teflon pads
Page 9: A Project on Pressure and temperature analysis of tilted pad thrust bearing using Teflon pads

DESCRIPTION OF TEST RIG:

It mainly consists of four distinct parts:

1) Driving motor along with driving pulley :

A.C induction motor.

Capacity 7.5 HP

Rated speed 1430 rpm

2) Oil Sump and Runner along with Driven Pulley:

Oil sump is a casting body . Inside this a pocket is fitted. Pocket has eight equally placed radial slots and dowel pins. There are eight pads which tilt about an axis passing through its geometric center along a radial slot.

Tilting of each pad about the pivot causes formation of wedge shaped oil film along the sliding direction of runner. This wedge shape oil film in turn causes self acting pumping action of oil. The combination of squeeze, stretch and wedge effect generates pressure within oil film. Due to this pressure, load of runner is sustained.

3) Hydraulic power pack and loading system:

Loading system consists of lever, loading piece, brackets, with their base plate. Hydraulic cylinder which is mounted on loading frame provides the load as per requirement through loading lever beam. Loading frame consists of two vertical I columns with four I beams welded together. Loading member is supported in brackets at one end and loaded by hydraulic cylinder at other end.

4) Cooling System : Copper tubing of 1 inch diameter is provided. One end of this copper tubing is connected to a reservoir of water and other end is drained. The cooling effect is provided by circulating water around the oil sump. For better and effective cooling, the rate of water flow is increased by placing reservoir tank at a height of 10 feet from setup foundation.

INHERENT TEFLON PROPERTIES:

PTFE against steel has one of the lowest coefficients of friction

The load bearing capacity of the PTFE sheet is in the range of 130-140Kg/sq.cm

The PV values are found to be in excess of 10,000

Pressure (P) is the load placed on a bearing assembly. Velocity (V) is the surface speed at which an object, such as a shaft, moves. P-V is defined as the combination effect of the pressure of the object and the velocity at which it moves on the bearing surface.

 Service temperatures of -250 to +250°C are possible.

CALIBRATION OF DIAPHARGMS:

The material of diaphragm is Brass. Strain gauges are stacked on diaphragm and such a diaphragms are mounted in a fixture for pressure measurement.

Diaphragm specification – 2 mm thick and 16 mm dia.

Procedure Of Calibration :

1) The strain gauges to be used for calibration is fitted in a fixture and mounted on dead weight calibration apparatus.

2) The strain gauge connecting wires are attached to strain guage indicator.

3) The pressure variation is done by varying the dead weights.

4) For different loads the indicator gives different reading and these readings are noted down.

INSTRUMENTATION FOR EFFECTIVE TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT

For effective temperature measurement, locations for mounting of temperature sensors are very necessary.

It is found that following methods are used for temperature measurement 1) Temperature Grid. 2) T 50/75 or 75/75 3) Oil Film Tapping.

From the above methods mentioned, temperature grid method is used.Advantages – It gives variation of temperature over pad surface It gives temperature grid on pad surface. It is best for laboratory testing.
