Abstract

This paper describes the fluttering characteristics of the upper pad in a tilting pad journal bearing(6-pad, LOP type) using a steam turbine. In order to investigate the phenomena of the pad fluttering experimentally, the absolute vibration of the upper pads, the relative vibration between the bearing and the shaft and the circumferential distribution of the film thickness are measured under the different values of oil supply flow rate, shaft speed and bearing load.
