A shaft inside the sleeve of a journal bearing is being rotated at 1500 rpm. The shaft is 6.00 cm in diameter and is rotating in a bearing sleeve that is 6.02 cm in diameter and 40 cm long. The clearance is filled with oil having properties of ?=0.003 m2 /s and SG=0.88.

a. Find the torque required to rotate the shaft.

b. Find the power required to rotate the shaft. (Answer: 44.1 kW)

c. Discussion: How do the torque and power change when the clearance is halved? How do the torque and power change when the bearing rotates at twice the speed? Note that this discussion requires that problems should be solved using variables and numbers are substituted as a last step. Doing this allows trends to be easily observed.

A journal and bearing are to be designed for a shaft that turns at 250 rpm. Suppose ISO VG100 (SAE Engine 30) is to be used as lubricant and the bearing length is to be equal to 1.2 times the diameter. If the no-load power loss is not to exceed 2.5 x 10-4 horsepower and the diametral clearance is 0.0045 times the diameter, estimate the maximum diameter that can be used for the journal, and the allowable temperature limit.

North Platt Machinery Company manufactures a shaft that must fit inside a sleeve. The firm has just received an order of 51,000 units from Southernstar Exploration Company for $38 per unit. North Platt can manufacture the shaft at $8 per unit. Southernstar desires the diameter of the shaft to be 1.276 cm. The diameter of the shaft must not be less than 1.251 cm in order to fit properly inside the sleeve. To be able to insert the shaft into...

all journal bearing has a shaft diameter=1.25in and suppports a load of 1200lbf. the bushing is 1.25-in long and has a bore diameter=1.25in. shfat speed=1500 rev/min. average film temperature=115.4oF and SAE grade 30 lubricant is used. average clearance =0.001125 in. Find a) magnitud and location of min oil-film thickness b) total lubricant volumetric flow rate c) max oil-folm pressure and its angular location d) power loss

A .05 wide journal bearing supporting the loads on a 1 inch shaft just meets the Trumpler’s design criteria for a FACTOR OF SAFTY OF 2.05. The bearing satisfies all the other Trumpler’s design criteria by much larger margin. Your colleague suggests that increasing the bushing width to 0.75 inches would be an adequate design and you would not need to conduct another journal bearing analysis because the greater width would result in a bearing which satisfy all of Trumpler’s...

For a marine diesel engine application, a fluid-film journal bearing has a shaft diameter of 32 mm and the length of the bearing is 24 mm. The bearing uses SAE grade 20 oil as lubricant and operates under a radial load. The inlet and outlet temperatures of oil are 50oC and 110oC respectively. It is assumed that because of the shearing action there is a uniformly distributed energy release in the lubricant that heats the lubricant film. During run-in operation,...
