Properties of Misaligned Journal Bearings

G Dubois, F. W. Ocvirk, R. L. Wehe

Abstract

Abstract Properties of misaligned journal bearings under hydrodynamic conditions of lubrication are presented as observed from experimental data. Curves in dimensionless form give journal-bearing attitude as a function of the usual bearing variables and the couples which produce misalignment. Examples are given showing the application of the dimensionless curves to typical problems of misaligned bearings.
