An oil film bearing for supporting a roll neck in a rolling mill, suitable in particular for transmitting high bearing forces when the bearing partners are slightly and slowly moved with respect to each other, has a bearing surface into which are incorporated rods made of a friction-reducing material (e.g., low friction compounds), which extend in a substantially perpendicular direction to the bearing surface. The rods are deformed during heat processing to define a bearing surface. The bearing partner, such as a roll sleeve, rests on the free face of the deformed rods.

An active/self-sensing compensating hydrostatic bearing is disposed between first and second structures to allow relative movement between the first and second structures. The hydrostatic bearing includes a body and a compensator. The body, fixed to the first structure and separated from the second structure by a first gap, has a chamber and an input passage and an output passage both communicating with the chamber. The compensator is disposed in the chamber. A compensating passage, communicating with the input passage and the output passage, is formed between the body and the compensator. A pressurized fluid flows from the input passage to the output passage through the compensating passage, and the pressurized fluid in the output passage flows to the first gap to maintain the stability and the rigidity for the relative movement between the first and second structures. A hydrostatic bearing module using the hydrostatic bearing is also disclosed.

A controller for controlling a medium flow fed from a supply to at least one hydrostatic or aerostatic pocket of a bearing, a threaded spindle nut or a guide, having a housing and having pressure chambers which are separated by a control element, movable against the force of a spring element, and of which a first pressure chamber, subjected to a first pressure level, is directly connected to the medium supply, a second pressure chamber, subjected to a lower, second pressure level, is connected to the medium supply via a first flow resistance, and a third pressure chamber, which is subjected to a third pressure level which corresponds to that in the pocket, is connected to the pocket, a control element forming a variable second flow resistance is arranged between the second and third pressure chambers influencing the medium flow to the pocket and whose magnitude is raised by the action of the force of the first pressure chamber but is lowered by the action of the spring force and by the actions of the forces of the second and third pressure chambers. The housing has a bearing surface, comprising a passage orifice for the medium flow, with the aid of which the controller bears against a mating surface assigned to the bearing, the threaded spindle nut or the guide, thus creating a direct medium connection between controller and pocket and/or medium supply.

A damping arrangement (FIG. 1) for axial vibrations in a turbomachine shaft 10 comprises at least one circumferentially extending annular damping chambers 34 and 35 open towards a shaft thrust face 19.sub.A and 19.sub.B of a radially extending collar 20 and to which gas is supplied alternately by gas flow controllers 42.sub.A and 42.sub.B. Each controller contains fluidic devices switched by sensing pressures in radially displaced pressure sensing chambers 51, 53, or even the same chambers, as such pressure are modulated by the variations in shaft and collar position, to divert the gas from source 40. The diversion of gas flow is arranged to cause pressure fluctuations, which exert axial thrust on the thrust faces, advanced in phase to approach of the shaft so as to damp the vibration. The fluidic devices may be implemented by flow amplifiers 47.sub.A, 47.sub.B or fluid logic flip flop 61 (FIG. 2) and may be multistage devices to increase gain, all of which may be formed without moving parts and embedded in the housing. Flow diversion may be effected by other forms of sensing, such as leakage from a nozzle facing the shaft. The arrangement may be combined with, or serve as, a gas seal or be part of a bearing arrangement.
摘要:
A novel means for the design of the pockets of a hydrostatic spindle and the flow supply, collection, and pocket injection means to allow for very high speed rotation with a minimum of heat generation, mid maximum load capacity; furthermore the concept of self compensation is used to make the design insensitive to contaminants and thereby allow for the use of water based hydrostatic fluids, whereas the design of the compensator region is also advanced to facilitate high speed use. Accordingly, the present invention allows designers to increase the allowable speed and accuracy of rotary motion hydrostatic bearings. Design methodologies are presented for designing self compensating hydrostatic bearing spindle pockets and compensators to minimize the effects variation in stiffness with angular position, cavitation in bearing pockets, and turbulent shear power generation. Although it may seem that these are unrelated effects, the design solutions required substantially overlap and are thus presented together here. The primary issue in all of the design advancements is that the flow must be kept from separating, which will induce cavitation. This will result in wear and erosion of the bearing surfaces which will lead to bearing failure. Cavitation is prevented by the use of gently changing shapes, and the introduction of pressure at locations in the bearing where left to itself, the flow would separate and create a low pressure cavitating region.

A static pressure gas bearing is incorporated in a housing wherein a slotted groove with a small volume and a throttling control valve are positioned close together. Compressed gas is injected onto the bearing surface from the slotted groove. This configuration provides a static pressure gas bearing in which it is difficult to develop self-induced vibration.

A hydrostatic pad or slipper bearing that is hydrostatically balanced to provide a substantially frictionless bearing with negligible fluid leakage, for supporting a moving part, in which there is a stationary housing in a cylindrical recess in which is mounted a bearing pad movable in the recess and surrounded by a liquid seal, the outward face of the pad being shaped to bear on the moving part to be supported and having a recessed area in its outward face which is defined by sealing land. A passage through the pad provides a communication between the inward face of the pad and the recessed area. Within the housing is a cylindrical cavity containing a valve assembly which is connected in a manner that is free of back lash to the pad so that the valve moves with the pad. The cylindrical cavity is supplied with liquid under pressure the entry of which is controlled by the valve and also with a passage leading to an area of lower of pressure. The novel feature of the construction lies in the fact that the cylindrical recess and the pad are of substantially uniform diameter through the lengths so that the pad is supported against lateral movement by the wall of the recess at a point close to the moving part and in that the effective hydrostatic area of the inward face of the pad is substantially equal to the effective hydrostatic area of the outward face of the pad plus the effective hydrostatic area of the valve subject to the pressure acting on the inward face of the pad, the valve assembly being hydrostatically balanced within itself with respect to the input pressure so that the whole pad and valve assembly are hydrostatically balanced. This arrangement guards against the leading edge of the pad digging into the moving part and also permits the use of a large diameter poppet valve.
