Modelling and Simulation of Sealless Cylinders

씰리스 실린더 모델링 및 시뮬레이션

The study of Sealless Cylinder is presented. The cylinder has a piston with air bearing. The piston has a partly cylindrical and partly conical shape. The description of system geometry is follows by the flow rate equations. Then pressure distribution and Bearing force equations are derived. Several non dimensional parameters are suggested. The relationship among bearing force, leakage flow and geometry of the bearing is investigated by simulation. And determination method for optimal design of sealless cylinder is given. A prototype of sealless cylinder which had rod bearing with four pockets, five pockets, and six pockets was built respectively.
