초록

저널 베어링은 샤프트와 베어링이 윤활유를 사이에 두고 서로 미끄러지는 유체윤활 상태에서 운동하고 있으며, 넓은 마찰 면에 하중을 분산하여 받기 때문에 큰 힘을 받을 수 있다. 저널 베어링이 유체 윤활 상태에서 원활한 동작으로 운전되기 위해서는 저널 베어링의 표면에 오일 구멍이나 오일 홈을 더하여 베어링 틈새로 충분한 윤활유가 공급되어야 한다. 이러한 급유 홈의 형상이나 크기 및 급유 위치에 따라 베어링의 성능이 달라진다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 여러 급유 조건 중 저널 베어링의 오일 홈의 형상(삼각형, 사각형, 반원형)에 따른 유량을 측정하여, 어느 형상에서 가장 많은 유량을 토출하는지 알아봄으로써, 저널 베어링을 설계하는데 최적의 성능을 나타내는 홈의 형태를 파악하고자 하였다. 온도가 낮을수록 유량이 많으며, 회전수가 높아질수록 온도의 영향이 작아지고, 삼각형의 오일 홈일 때 유량이 가장 많은 것으로 나타났다.

As journal bearing has a sliding motion between the shaft and bearing with lubricating oil, it produces a hydrodynamic lubrication condition. Journal bearing can receive a large force because it takes a distributed load at the large friction face. As the oil groove or oil hole is made in the journal bearing surface for the journal bearing smoothly working under a hydrodynamic lubrication condition, sufficient lubricating oil is supplied through the clearance of journal bearing. The performance of the journal bearing is changed according to the shapes, sizes and positions of an oil groove. In this paper, the flow rate according to the oil groove shapes (triangle, semicircle and rectangle) among the various oil supply conditions was measured. The shape that discharges the highest flow rate was observed and the groove shape of optimal performance for the journal bearing was determined. The results showed that the flow rate increases with decreasing operating temperature, the influence of temperature on the flow rate decreased with increasing rotational speed, and flow rate in the triangular groove shape was greater than in other shapes.
