General Description

This unit allows the visualization of the radial pressure distribution in a journal bearing with hydrodynamic lubrication.

The "MEMT-1" unit consists of a journal bearing with hydrodynamic lubrication, a freely moving bearing housing with thirteen manometric tubes that allow to visualize the radial pressure distribution. The journal bearing movement and the oil film can be seen through a transparent plastic bearing housing. The pressure distribution in the journal bearing is measured by thirteen manometric tubes using the height of each column of liquid.

The gap width can be adjusted by the movable bearing housing with a micrometer screw.

The lubricant that enables the visualization of pressure distribution in the journal bearing is contained in a tank. The distribution of pressure on the journal bearing can be determined at different speeds, loads and bearing gap width.

Exercises and guided practices

GUIDED PRACTICAL EXERCISES INCLUDED IN THE MANUAL

  1. Demonstration and visualization of the radial pressure distribution in a journal bearing with hydrodynamic lubrication.
  2. Investigation of the pressure distribution in the journal bearing depending on the bearing gap width.
  3. Investigation of the pressure distribution in the journal bearing depending on the speed.
  4. Study of the stability limit as a function of the gap width.
