Minimum Film Thickness given Radius of Bearing Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Minimum Film Thickness = Radius of Bearing-(Eccentricity in Bearing+Radius of Journal)
h_° = R-(e+r)
This formula uses 4 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.
Radius of Bearing - (Measured in Meter) - The Radius of Bearing is the distance from the center of the bearing to its outer edge, influencing the performance and stability of sliding contact bearings.
Eccentricity in Bearing - (Measured in Meter) - The Eccentricity in Bearing is a measure of the deviation of the bearing's center from the center of rotation, affecting the film thickness and performance.
Radius of Journal - (Measured in Meter) - The Radius of Journal is the distance from the center of the journal to its outer edge, crucial for ensuring proper fit and function in sliding contact bearings.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Radius of Bearing: 26 Millimeter --> 0.026 Meter (Check conversion here)
Eccentricity in Bearing: 0.487 Millimeter --> 0.000487 Meter (Check conversion here)
Radius of Journal: 25.5 Millimeter --> 0.0255 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h_° = R-(e+r) --> 0.026-(0.000487+0.0255)

Evaluating ... ...

h_° = 1.29999999999991E-05

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.29999999999991E-05 Meter -->0.0129999999999991 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.0129999999999991 ≈ 0.013 Millimeter <-- Minimum Film Thickness
