Minimum Film Thickness in Terms of Minimum Film Thickness Variable of Bearing Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Minimum Film Thickness = Minimum Film Thickness Variable*Radial clearance for bearing
h_° = h_min*c
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Minimum Film Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - Minimum film thickness is the lowest amount of the thickness of the oil film formed inside the sliding bearing.
Minimum Film Thickness Variable - Minimum Film Thickness Variable is defined as the ratio of minimum film thickness to radial clearance.
Radial clearance for bearing - (Measured in Meter) - Radial clearance for bearing is a measured value of the total movement of one ring relative to the other in a plane perpendicular to the bearing axis.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Minimum Film Thickness Variable: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required
Radial clearance for bearing: 0.024 Millimeter --> 2.4E-05 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h_° = h_min*c --> 0.5*2.4E-05

Evaluating ... ...

h_° = 1.2E-05

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.2E-05 Meter -->0.012 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.012 Millimeter <-- Minimum Film Thickness

(Calculation completed in 00.006 seconds)
