3) A 100 mm diameter full journal bearing supports a radial load of 15 kN. The shaft
works at 500 rpm and the bearing is 55 mm long. Assuming a permissible minimum

40°C. Groove width is 5 mm.
SOLUTION
For maximum clearance:
(a) A maximum diametral clearance of Cmax=116 µm is achieved along the diameters.
Thus, the maximum radial clearance is cmax=116/2=58 µm.
Minimum film thickness criterion is used for selecting the viscosity of the lubricant. It
is stated that h0 ≥ 10 µ m . Minimum possible film thickness is taken for the system,
h0 = ( h0 )min = 10 µ m
From Figure 12-16, the value of the Sommerfeld number, S, is obtained for
ho/c = 10/58 = 0.17 and l/d = 55/100 ≈ 1/2:
S = 0.075
Notice: l/d ratio is taken approximately as 1/2. It could also be considered as 0.55. In
that case, all the variables would be interpolated via Equation 12-16 in the textbook.

By using tolerance tables: Also, the unit load on the bearing is

From H6, bushing bore lies in 100 + 0 < D < 100 + 0.022 mm W 15000
P= = = 2.73 MPa
From e6, journal diameter lies in 100 – 0.072 > D > 100 – 0.094 mm ld 55(100)

Then, by using the bearing characteristic number formula

Maximum diametrical clearance: Cmax = 22 + 94 = 116 µ m
Minimum diametrical clearance: Cmin = 0 + 72 = 72 µ m 2 2

To see the effect of clearance on the performance of the bearing analysis is done
considering both maximum and minimum clearance values. It is expected that values µ is obtained as:
for minimum clearance are more critical for the design. This is because for tighter
assembly loading capacity of the bearing is lower resulting in higher temperature rise.

(g) Performance of the bearing is satisfactory at maximum clearance. However, for
minimum clearance a little high temperature rise is obtained. One of the many ways to The maximum allowed temperature rise is stated as 30°C. So, average temperature of
overcome this poor performance is to have a coarser fit in the assembly. The other the lubricant is:
option is to increase l/d ratio. Thirdly, introducing a compressor into the system, i.e. ∆T 30.0
converting the bearing to a pressure-fed type, could be another solution.
Tav = T1 + = 40 + = 55.0o C
2 2
Using pressurized lubricant could be a good solution. Although they decrease the l/d From Figure 12-13, viscosity of the lubricant for SAE 30 and T=55°C is:
ratio of the bearing, pressure-fed type has a high lubricant flow. This results in higher
rate of cooling in the system, i.e. a more effective operation without overheating.
µ = 34 mPa.s
However, high initial and operating cost are their main disadvantage.

From Figure 12-16 for S=0.18 and l/d=1/4: ε = 0.85
At first, one should determine the lubricant of the system. Initial temperature is 40°C,

Take c = 20 µm.
For the sake of maintenance, a non-pressure-fed bearing may be selected as a first
choice. As l/d ratio gets larger, pressure in the oil and side leakage decreases, and
Assume ∆T = 30˚C
consequently, minimum film thickness increases. In order to enhance the probability

clearance range, a standard fit is selected for the bearing and the shaft. S = 21.35(0.016) = 0.34

Two procedures can be employed to obtain (ho vs. c) and (Tmax vs. c) graphs: By using S at Figure 12-24:

Continue the iterations until assumed ∆T and calculated ∆T are in agreement.

As soon as ∆T’s are in agreement, plot ho and Tmax vs c. Assume ∆T = 40˚C → Calculated ∆T ≈ 40˚C → Assumption satisfied

2ND PROCEDURE: For the verified value of S = 0.28 at ∆T = 40˚C from Figure 12-16 ho/c = 0.6, then:

Take a ∆T value, calculate Tmax and find µ. ho = 20(0.6) = 12 µm.

Find S from Figure 12-24 using ∆T and l/d ratio.

ho-c graph.

H7/f5 can be accepted as cmax lies just before the peak region. This choice seems to be
the best fit among the other alternatives. For minimum clearance, the maximum
temperature of the lubricant should also be checked in order to make sure that the
lubricant does not lose its property.

As self-contained bearings do not have an external sump, generated heat within the What is seeked is the condition at which H gen = H loss .

The dissipated and generated heats must be equal to each other. So, the iterations
should be carried out until the heat-balance is achieved. For some average temperature
values, following heat-balance computation is obtained.

At the end of the iterations, T f =44°C (Hgen≈Hloss)
