Experimental Characterization of Large Turbomachinery Tilting Pad Journal Bearings

The paper deals with the experimental characterization of different 280 mm diameter tilting pad journal bearings for turbomachines using a dedicated test rig. The test articles were a 5-pad Direct Lube Rocker Pivot bearing, a 5-pad Flooded Rocker Pivot bearing, and a 4-pad Flooded Ball and Socket Pi...
