Original abstract
Hydrodynamic tilting-pad journal bearings are used in high-speed applications with vibration resistance requirements. Tilting-pad bearings consist of three or more pads which can be tilted. Due to this feature, these bearings have much higher stability in operation than other fixed geometry hydrodynamic bearings. Increasingly, bearings lubricated with lower viscosity fluids such as water are becoming more popular, allowing them to be used in clean applications without polluting the environment with oil particles. Wear on the bearing sliding surfaces is also an important factor in these applications, not only in terms of bearing life but also in terms of lubricant contamination. Therefore, this paper is focused specifically on bearing wear measurement.
