Dynamic Stiffness and Damping Characteristics of a Sine Film Thrust Bearing

The Effect of Damping and Stiffness of Bearing on the Natural Frequencies of Rotor-bearing System

In this paper, the effectiveness of stiffness and damping of bearing is investigated on the natural frequencies of the rotor-bearing system. The rotor-bearing system consists of a shaft, two bearings and a disk between two bearings. Parallel spring-damper in horizental and vertical directions is considered for modeling the stiffness and damping of bearings. The gyroscopic effect is also conside...

Frictional Characteristics of Thrust Bearing in Scroll Compressor

This paper presents frictional characteristics of thrust bearing in scroll compressor. The coefficient of friction in thrust bearing was measured by both elemental friction test and loss classification based on the performance test of actual scroll compressor, and investigated frictional characteristics focusing on the behavior of sliding portion which affects the generation of oil film by expe...

Experimental Measurement of Precision Bearing Dynamic Stiffness

Static stiffness measurement of precision bearing components by influence coefficients is complicated by the task of loading and measuring the baseline test fixture stiffness before including the bearing components. Furthermore, as the displacement of the bearing system is measured for various load conditions, the stiffness of high quality bearings may be difficult to distinguish from the test ...

Measurement of Stiffness and Damping Characteristics of Computer Keyboard Keys

To determine the stiffness and damping of computer keyboard keys, a computercontrolled test rig that can measure computer key displacement, velocity, and contact force has been designed. The test rig, consisting of a single-axis stage carrying a probe for contacting keys, has been used to collect contact force and motion data as computer keys are depressed and released at constant velocities up...
