fluid film bearing
1Fluid bearing — Fluid bearings are bearings which solely support the bearing s loads on a thin layer of liquid or gas.They can be broadly classified as fluid dynamic bearings, hydrostatic or gas bearings. They are frequently used in high load, high speed or high …
2bearing — /bair ing/, n. 1. the manner in which one conducts or carries oneself, including posture and gestures: a man of dignified bearing. 2. the act, capability, or period of producing or bringing forth: a tree past bearing. 3. something that is… …
3Thrust bearing — A thrust bearing is a particular type of rotary bearing. Like other rotary bearings they permit rotation between parts, but they are designed to support a high axial load while doing this.Thrust bearings come in several varieties. * Ball thrust… …
4Plain bearing — Crankshaft plain bearing shells A plain bearing, also known as a plane bearing[1] or a friction bearing[2] is the simplest type of bearing, comprising just a bearing surface and no rolling elem …
5Journal bearing — A journal bearing is a simple bearing in which a shaft, or journal , or crankshaft rotates in the bearing with a layer of oil or grease separating the two parts through fluid dynamic effects. The shaft and bearing are generally both simple… …
6R&D Dynamics — was founded in 1990. The company’s founder Dr. Giri Agrawal pioneered the design and development of high speed rotating machines supported on air/gas foil bearings for the Air cycle machine in the 70’s and 80’s while working at Honeywell and… …
7Lubrication — is the process, or technique employed to reduce wear of one or both surfaces in close proximity, and moving relative to each another, by interposing a substance called lubricant between the surfaces to carry or to help carry the load (pressure… …
8Hydrodynamic lubrication — Hydrodynamic (HD) lubrication (or fluid film lubrication) has essential elements:#A lubricant, which must be a viscous fluid. #Hydrodynamic flow behavior of fluid between bearing and journal. #The surfaces between which the fluid films move must… …
9Tribology — is the science and engineering of interacting surfaces in relative motion. It includes the study and application of the principles of friction, lubrication and wear. Tribology is a branch of mechanical engineering. Contents 1 Fundamentals 1.1… …
10Boundary lubrication — Brief description of lubricationLubrication is the process, or technique employed to reduce wear of one or both surfaces in relative motion to one another by interposing a substance called lubricant between the surfaces to carry or to help carry… …
