RISEffect of Foil Geometry on the Static Performance of Thrust Foil Bearings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Gas foil bearings can operate in extreme conditions such as high temperature and high rotating speed, compared to traditional bearings. They also provide better damping and stability characteristics and have larger tolerance ...
The Wing Foil: A Novel Compliant Radial Foil Bearing Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To meet the challenging demands for high performance, affordable compliant foil bearings (CFBs), a novel compliant support element has been developed. This recently patented, novel support element uses a multidimensional ...
Impact of Bearing Clearance on Measured Stiffness and Damping Coefficients and Thermal Performance of a High-Stiffness Generation 3 Foil Journal Bearing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: High-speed foil bearings are currently used in increasingly demanding, high performance applications. The application under consideration is a 120 krpm natural gas turboexpander-compressor, which requires 38 mm (1.5 in.) ...
The Influence of Ambient Pressure on the Measured Load Capacity of Bump-Foil and Spiral-Groove Gas Thrust Bearings at Ambient Pressures up to 69 Bar on a Novel High-Pressure Gas Bearing Test Rig
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper will show the influence of ambient pressure on the thrust capacity of bump-foil and spiral-groove gas thrust bearings. The bearings were operating in nitrogen at various pressures up to 69 bar and were tested ...
