Abstract
The operational stability of radial journal bearings is the bottleneck that limits the reliability of hydraulic suspension micro-pump.Due to self-excited vibrations,the whirl amplitude of the plain journal bearing(PJB)is large at high rotational speeds,which will accelerate wear failure.It has been proven that employing herringbone grooved journal bearing(HGJB)is an effective method to reduce the whirl amplitude and improve operational stability.However,enhancing the stability of journal bearings in micro-pumps by herringbone grooved structures has rarely been studied,and its effect needs to be verified.We validated the mechanism of the stability improvement with the CFD method and compared the dynamic characteristics of HGJB and PJB by rotor dynamics evaluation and experiment.The experimental results show that under the same conditions the whirl amplitude of the HGJB decreases by 29.61％in the x direction and by 24.09％in the y direction compared with that of the PJB.This study reveals the effect of the herringbone grooved structure on the operational stability of bearings and may provide guidance for the reliability improvement of hydraulic suspension micro-pump.
