Abstract:
The test rig was established on the basis of exploiting foil air bearings to test the static and dynamic performances of new compliant aerodynamic foil air bearings. The experiments were performed to identify the lift off speed and load capacity of foil journal air bearings. The lift off speed of foil journal air bearing was analyzed through two methods: friction torque between the surface of rotor and bearing, and the spectrum of radial displacement response. The results of experiments shows that the friction torque reduces and reaches a steady value gradually after lift off because of rub-impact minishing. The spectrum figure is regular and there only appears larger components of low multiple working frequencies. The components of high multiple working frequencies and other frequencies are very small. The lift off speed of foil journal air bearing obtained from these two methods is basically consistent. In terms of load capacity, the eccentricity between the center of rotor and air bearing increases as the load acting on bearing increases. Under the same load, the eccentricity during offloading is larger than that of loading because there is energy loss during offloading due to foil elastic deformation.
