Exploring magnetic properties and dynamic performance of magnetic-hydraulic double-floating journal bearing based on offset load

Abstract

An innovative structural system of magnetic-hydraulic double-floating journal bearing is designed to improve the ability to resist offset loads. By considering the magnetic force to the water-lubricated journal bearing and the magnetic structure design, a force model of the innovative bearing is proposed. The magnetic force and water film force for the bearing are simulated by comparing the load-carry capacity of only water film force. Experimental results showed the load-carry capacity and stability test of the innovative bearing. The design of innovative bearing with the upper suction and lower magnetic repulsion based on the Halbach array can provide a larger supporting magnetic force. The axially non-uniform magnetic structure deployment can manipulate the changes of the magnetic force in the axial direction to hold the offset load. The test found that by comparing the traditional water-lubricated bearing, the bearing has a certain vibration suppression ability in the vertical direction. Under the test speed, the bearing stiffness hardly changes with the change of the speed, which also shows a slightly decreasing trend with the increase of the excitation frequency.
