Outline of Final Research Achievements

Hydrodynamic bearings are superior to ball bearing in terms of vibration and fatigue life. However, the characteristics of hydrodynamic bearing in vacuum are not obviously. Aims of this study are to evaluate the characteristics of textured hydrodynamic bearing in vacuum and to construct of the numerical method which predicts those. The bearing tests in vacuum were conducted and cavitation region was observed simultaneously.
The experimental results indicate that friction reduction of surface texture is obtained in vacuum and the effect is continuously maintained under no oil supply condition. The cavitation region calculated by conventional numerical method was not corresponded to experimental results in vacuum. A new numerical approach considering surface tension is presented and a qualitative agreement is found between the numerical solutions and experimental results.
