Unstable tilting motion of flexibly supported gas bearing bushings

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Philipp Kaspar Bättig

This paper presents measurements of the motion amplitudes from flexibly supported Herringbone Grooved Journal Bearing bushings. Measurements taken in four locations on the flexibly supported bearing bushing enable the distinction between the radial and the ...

Experimental Investigation of Enhanced Grooves for Herringbone Grooved Journal Bearings

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Patrick Hubert Wagner, Philipp Kaspar Bättig

This paper presents the results of a theoretical and experimental investigation of the potential of enhanced groove geometries to increase the bearing clearance of a Herringbone Grooved Journal Bearing (HGJB) supported rotor. The theoretical study investig ...

Nonlinear study on a rigid rotor supported by herringbone grooved gas bearings: Theory and validation

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Patrick Hubert Wagner, Philipp Kaspar Bättig, Wanhui Liu

The nonlinear behavior of a rigid rotor supported by herringbone grooved journal gas bearings (HGJBs) was investigated in this study. The two-dimensional narrow groove theory (2D-NGT) was adopted to model the HGJBs. A set of integrated rotor-bearing state ...

Data-Driven Model for the Dynamic Characteristics of O-Rings for Gas Bearing Supported Rotors

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Philipp Kaspar Bättig

The measurement results of various nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) O-Ring sizes are pre-sented, and reduced-order models are developed in order to predict the stiffness and damping coefficient as a function of O-Ring geometry, Shore hardness, squeeze, and e ...

Flexible support and enhanced groove geometries for gas lubricated bearings

Philipp Kaspar Bättig

Gas lubricated Herringbone-Grooved Journal Bearings (HGJB) are a promising solution to support high-speed rotors in oil-free turbo-machinery due to their compactness, relatively low losses, no need for lubrication and low wear. Gas lubricated bearings, how ...
