| Sumario: | Aerostatic bearings are widely used in high-precision devices. Partial arc annular-thrust aerostatic porous journal bearings are a prominent type of aerostatic bearings, which carry both radial and axial loads and provide high load-carrying capacity, low air consumption, and relatively low cost. Spindle shaft tilting is a resource-demanding challenge in numerical modeling because it involves a 3D air flow. In this study, the air flow problem was solved using a COMSOL software, and the dynamic coefficients for tilting degrees of freedom were obtained using finite differences. The obtained results exhibit significant coupling between the tilting motion in the x-and y-directions: cross-coupled coefficients can achieve 20% of the direct coefficient for stiffness and 50% for damping. In addition, a nonlinear behavior can be expected, because the tilting motion within 3°, tilting velocities within 0.0012°/s, and relative eccentricity of 0.2 have effects as large as 20% for direct stiffness and 100% for cross-coupled stiffness and damping. All dynamic coefficients were fitted with a polynomial of eccentricity, tilting, and tilting velocities in two directions, with a total of six parameters. The resulting fitting coefficient tables can be employed for the fast dynamic simulation of the rotor shaft carried on the proposed bearing type. |
