| The hydrodynamic bearing is such
a fundamental machine element, that every student should have knowledge
about it. This bearing competes with the ball bearing, but the advantages
are obvious. Though we meet the hydrodynamic bearing foremost in its cylindrical
form, a suitable way to learn about it is the plate form. The
model uses a belt drive that submerges downtrum into an oil reservoir
. So transports oil on its surface. Upside a plate is placed which can
be inclined and the distance to the belt adjusted. Above the plate a number
of glas tubes is arranged having connection with the oil film via small
bores. The tubes are graduated so is readable the pressuredistribution
of the oilfilm. |
