7 Operational parameters to avoid excessive thermal loading
The maximum permissible bearing temperature, Tim , is dependent on the bearing material and the lubricant. With increasing temperature, hardness and strength of the bearing material decrease.
This is particularly noticeable for lead and tin alloys because of their low melting points.
In addition, lubricant viscosity decreases as temperature increases. The load-carrying capacity of the plain bearing is therefore reduced, resulting, under certain circumstances, in mixed friction with wear. Furthermore, at temperatures greater than 80。C, ageing of lubricants based on mineral oils increases.
During steady-state operation of the plain bearing, the temperature field is constant. When carrying out the plain bearing calculation in accordance with ISO 7902-1, the thermal bearing load may be described by the bearing temperature, Tg, or by the lubricant outlet temperature, Tex , provided they do not exceed, Tim . Table 4 gives general empirical values for Tim in which it is taken into account that the maximum value of the temperature field is greater than the calculated bearing temperature, Tg, or than the calculated lubricant outlet temperature, Tex .
From the total quantity of lubricant available for bearing lubrication, there is always only a small proportion for a limited period within the clearance gap and hence at an increased temperature level.This means that Tp or
y is important for the service life of the lubricant flow rate. This ratio is, in general, more favourable for circumferentially-lubricated bearings than for self-lubricated bearings.
8 Operational parameters for the bearing clearance
The bearing clearance greatly influences the operational behaviour of the plain bearing. Although its magnitude would actually be determined taking into account all other operational data, in practice, the following approximate formula has proven of value. According to this formula, the mean relative bearing clearance, iii, in thousandths, is calculated as a function of the peripheral speed, U1, in metres
per second, only:
,Ji=O,409 6.Ji
Experience has shown that it is sometimes difficult to realize an appropriate clearance fit using the tolerances specified in ISO 286-2. Sometimes deviations greater than the mean value calculated using this formula occur.
For this reason, the bearing clearance should preferably be
0,56; 0,8; 1,12; 1,32; 1,6; 1,9; 2,24; 3,15 (%o)
in which the main relative bearing clearances are in steps based on the preferred number series.
Table 5 gives general empirical values for iji, based not only on the peripheral speed but also on the diameter. The reason for this is that for the same Sommerfeld numbers and the same BID ratios, the highest temperature measured in the bearing increases as the diameter decreases. Choosing a bearing clearance from Table 5 reduces this tendency.
TabIe.5 does not take into account exceptional influences such as:
— high shaft temperature due to thermal conduction from outside into the bearing;
— large elastic deformation due to the bearing load;
— large thermal deformation or large thermal expansion differentials between shaft and bearing;
— lubricants having a particularly high or low viscosity.
