Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of uniform and eccentric load conditions on the performance of internal feedback hydrostatic thrust and journal bearing. Two distinct models are established: a three-degrees-of-freedom uniform load model and a five-degrees-of-freedom eccentric load model. The support stiffness, overturning stiffness, and flow rate for both thrust and journal bearings are calculated. Additionally, numerical analysis is conducted to examine the influence of oil film thickness, inlet pressure, and restrictor size on the operational characteristics of the bearings, revealing the interplay between an eccentric load and journal bearing speed. The validity of the theoretical algorithm is verified through finite element simulation. The research outcomes hold significant guiding implications for the design and application of internal feedback hydrostatic bearings.
