Abstract

The performance of centrally loaded liquid-lubricated 180° partial hydrodynamic journal bearings with shaft misalignment is considered. Misalignment is restricted to shaft tilt about an axis normal to a plane bisecting the bearing arc, as would arise from elastic deflection of the shaft under load. The results of numerical calculations for L/D ratios of 1, ½, and ¼ and a range of tilt angles are presented in the form of nomograms, design charts and tables. The effect of misalignment on bearing performance is discussed and illustrated with sample calculations. Presented at the 24th ASLE Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, May 5–9, 1969.
