Minimum Film Thickness Variable of Bearing Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

Minimum Film Thickness Variable - Minimum Film Thickness Variable is defined as the ratio of minimum film thickness to radial clearance.
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.
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: 0.01224 Millimeter --> 1.224E-05 Meter (Check conversion here)
Radial clearance for bearing: 0.024 Millimeter --> 2.4E-05 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h_min = h_°/c --> 1.224E-05/2.4E-05

Evaluating ... ...

h_min = 0.51

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.51 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.51 <-- Minimum Film Thickness Variable

Film Thickness in Terms of Absolute Viscosity and Tangential Force

Go Oil Film thickness = Dynamic Viscosity of Oil*Area of Moving Plate on Oil*Velocity of Moving Plate on Oil/Tangential Force on Moving Plate

Eccentricity of Bearing in Terms of Minimum Film Thickness

Go Eccentricity in Bearing = Radius of Bearing-(Minimum Film Thickness+Radius of Journal)

Minimum Film Thickness given Radius of Bearing

Go Minimum Film Thickness = Radius of Bearing-(Eccentricity in Bearing+Radius of Journal)

Minimum Film Thickness Variable of Bearing

Go Minimum Film Thickness Variable = Minimum Film Thickness/Radial clearance for bearing

Minimum Film Thickness Variable of Bearing Formula

Minimum Film Thickness Variable = Minimum Film Thickness/Radial clearance for bearing
h_min = h_°/c

What is Sliding Contact Bearing?

The sliding contact bearings in which the sliding action is along the circumference of a circle or an arc of a circle and carrying radial loads are known as journal or sleeve bearings.
