Experimental and theoretical research of rotor systems with adaptive liquid-friction bearings

Abstract

A set of adaptive liquid-friction bearings is designed to ensure a reliable and qualitative operating of rotor systems under intensive operating conditions. Therefore, a field of application for such bearings is broad and ranges from the standard semiautomatics machines with a constant grinding wheel rotational speed to the flexible modules with an adaptive control system. Work specifics of rotor systems with adaptive liquid-friction bearings of a new design analyzed in the paper. Experimental research equipment and principle at its work are described. Experimental researches and computer calculations of rotor systems with adaptive liquid-friction bearings are performed with purpose to define the influence of different factors on work quality of these systems.
