Bearings Plus offers a complete line of hydrodynamic fluid film bearings for rotating machinery. The variation of speed of the fluid causes an overpressure which tends to cause a separation of the sheets 3 from the shaft 6. In the case where the forces which at this moment oppose the separation of the sheets 3 from the shaft 6 are slight or negligible, they form, even for low rotational speeds of the shaft 6, a fluid film.
Each end of the cartridge 38' is cut back to form smaller diameter ends 92 and 93. The slots 90 and 91 and smaller diameter ends 92 and 93 together facilitate the flow of compressor air from the compliant foil hydrodynamic fluid film thrust bearing fluid film bearing around the journal bearing cartridge 38' and provide substantial cooling of the bearing cartridge 38' and bearing rotor 36. The slots 90 and 91 can also function as fixed orifices to control the hydrostatic augmentation of the thrust bearing.
Typically the tri-metal plain bearing common to contemporary high-performance engines is formed as a laminated structure having a relatively thick steel backing layer in contact with the housing, a harder, thin middle layer (copper-lead, lead-bronze, aluminum-tin, etc.) and a very thin upper layer of soft material (lead, zinc, cadmium, lead-indium, and a host of others), the top layer forming the actual bearing surface.
26. The hydrostatic augmentation system of claim 25 wherein the compliant foil hydrodynamic fluid film journal bearing includes a cartridge having a plurality of axially extending peripheral slots and a plurality of radially extending end slots to promote cooling by the bleed air from the bearing rotor thrust disk.
The fluid foil member 48 includes a plurality of individual fluid foil pads 65 which are generally chevron shaped and connected to an outer self shimming ring 68 by support webs 69. Each fluid foil pad 65 has a trailing edge 71 with a rounded trailing point and a leading edge 74. A generally scoop shaped hydrodynamic converging ramp 73 is formed with a generally straight ramped contour from the leading edge 74 to the trailing edge 71 and a rounded concave contour from the circumferential line of the trailing edge 71 to the outer diameter of the fluid foil pad 65 and to the inner diameter of the fluid foil pad 65. As best illustrated in the two sectional views of FIGS.

Figure 7: Natural modes of configuration A for a rotational speed of 40 Hz: (a) bearing 2 fluid frequency at 21.83 Hz; (b) bearing 1 fluid frequency at 20.85 Hz; (c) first forward flexural natural frequency at 25.74 Hz; (d) first backward flexural natural frequency at 27.01 Hz.
44. The turbomachine of claim 43 wherein the channels in said thrust plate include a plurality of connected radially and axially extending orifices in said thrust plate and a plurality of connected circumferential and arcuate channels on the thrust disk side of said thrust plate.
5. The bearing according to claim 4 wherein said housing is formed with a radial hole, aligned with said movable support, and includes a spring located in saidhole and a rest member interposed between said spring and said movable support, said rest member and said movable support and said shell having corresponding slots and a key inserted therein to prevent rotation of said shell but permit radial movement.
In many cases, oil-whip is the only fluid-induced instability considered during the design stage; however, experimental evidences have shown that the instability threshold may occur much sooner, demanding a better comprehension of the instability mechanism.
