The GUNT TM 260.06 Pressure Distribution in Journal Bearings experimental unit allows the study of hydrodynamic lubrication and the visualization of radial pressure profiles in journal bearings. It demonstrates how dry, mixed, and fluid friction occur in bearing systems and how a supporting lubricating film separates the shaft and bearing shell under operating conditions.
Product Features
- The unit visualizes radial pressure profiles in a journal bearing under hydrodynamic lubrication.
- Experimental unit contains an open bearing shell enclosing the shaft halfway, simulating a journal bearing.
- Bearing shell secured to two spring plates, allowing movement; gap width adjustable via radially movable bearing housing and micrometer screw.
- TM 260 drive unit required; experimental unit mounts quickly on the drive frame with quick-action chucks.
- Shaft driven via clampable coupling; display and control unit shows frictional force and speed, allowing continuous speed adjustment.
- Thirteen measuring points around the bearing circumference measure pressure using 13-tube manometers; heights of liquid columns indicate pressure.
- Lubricant supplied via an oil pan; transparent bearing shell allows close observation of the experiment.
Benefits
- Provides clear visualization of pressure distribution in journal bearings.
- Supports study of hydrodynamic lubrication and friction in bearing systems.
- Adjustable gap width enables precise control and experimentation.
- Transparent components allow detailed observation of lubricant behaviour.
