Magnetic field in magnetic bearings is the physical medium to realize magnetic levitation, the distribution of the magnetic field determines the operating performance of magnetic bearings. In this paper, a thin-slice Fiber Bragg Grating-Giant Magnetostrictive Material magnetic sensor used for the air gap of magnetic bearings was proposed and tested in the condition of dynamic magnetic field. The static property of the sensor was calibrated and a polynomial curve was fitted to describe the performance of the sensor. Measurement of dynamic magnetic field with different frequencies in magnetic bearings was implemented. Comparing with the finite element simulations, the results showed the DC component of the magnetic field was detected by the sensor and error was less than 5.87%.

This paper describes a marine watch system on a ship, which is aided by an image processing method. The system detects other ships through a navigational image sequence to prevent oversights, and it measures their bearings to maintain their movements. The proposed method is described, the detection techniques and measurement of bearings techniques are derived, and the results have been reported. The image is divided into small regions on the basis of the brightness value and then labeled. Each region is considered as a template. A template is assumed to be a ship. Then, the template is compared with frames in the original image after a selected time. A moving vector of the regions is calculated using an Excel table. Ships are detected using the characteristics of the moving vector. The video camera captures 30 frames per second. We segmented one frame into approximately 5000 regions; from these, approximately 100 regions are presumed to be ships and considered to be templates. Each template was compared with frames captured at 0.33 s or 0.66 s. In order to improve the accuracy, this interval was changed on the basis of the magnification of the video camera. Ships’ bearings also need to be determined. The proposed method can measure the ships’ bearings on the basis of three parameters: (1) the course of the own ship, (2) arrangement between the camera and hull, and (3) coordinates of the ships detected from the image. The course of the own ship can be obtained by using a gyrocompass. The camera axis is calibrated along a particular direction using a stable position on a bridge. The field of view of the video camera is measured from the size of a known structure on the hull in the image. Thus, ships’ bearings can be calculated using these parameters.

This paper describes a new technique for thickness measurement of a very thin layer less than one-quarter of the wavelength of ultrasonic wave used in the ultrasonic pulse-echo measurements. The technique determines the thickness of a thin layer in a tapered medium from constructive interference of multiple reflection waves. The interference characteristics are derived and investigated in theoretical and experimental approaches. Modified total reflection wave g(t) defined as difference between total and first reflection waves increases in amplitude as the interfacial layer thickness decreases down to zero. A layer thickness less than one-tenth of the ultrasonic wavelength is measured using the maximum amplitude of g(t) with a good accuracy and sensitivity. The method also requires no inversion process to extract the thickness information from the waveforms of reflected waves, so that it makes possible to have the on-line thickness measurement of a thin layer such as a lubricating oil film in thrust bearings and journal bearings during manufacturing process.

This paper presents the rotordynamic performance measurement of oil-free turbocharger (TC) supported on gas foil bearings (GFBs) for 2 liter class diesel vehicles and comparison to floating ring bearings (FRBs). Oil-free TC was designed and developed via the rotordynamic analyses using dynamic force coefficients from GFB analyses. The rotordynamics and performance of the oil-free TC was measured up to 85 krpm while being driven by a diesel vehicle engine, and compared to a commercial oil-lubricated TC supported on FRBs. The test results showed that the GFBs increased the rotor speed by ~ 20% at engine speeds of 1,500 rpm and 1,750 rpm, yielding the reduction of turbine input energy by more than 400 W. Incidentally, an external shock test on the oil-free TC casing was conducted at the rotor speed of 60 krpm, and showed a good capability of vibration damping due to the well-known dry friction mechanism of the GFBs.

이 논문은 국내 탄성받침의 성능과 신뢰성 향상을 위한 일환으로, 탄성받침의 설계/제작/품질평가 기준인 KS F 4420의 강성 관련 개선방향을 제안하였다. 이를 위하여 KS F 4420의 압축탄성계수, 강성측정방법, 성능평가방법을 Eurocode, 일본 도로교지승편람, ISO 기준과 비교 분석하였으며, KS F 4420의 강성 제안식과 실측치와의 차이를 알아보기 위하여 국내 일반적인 탄성받침을 대상으로 수직강성과 전단강성 측정 실험을 실시하였다. 실측된 수직강성은 강성정의 방법에 따라 20%정도 차이를 나타냈으며, 전단강성은 13%정도 차이를 나타냈다. 또한 실측된 강성은 KS F 4420의 제안식과의 편차도 큰 것으로 나타났다. 교량받침이 요구되는 수직강성을 가지지 못하는 경우 교량 상부 구조물의 부등침하 및 응력집중 현상을 야기할 수 있다. 따라서 국내 받침이 설계에서 요구되는 성능을 갖기 위해서는 다양한 형상, 형상계수를 갖는 받침의 성능평가를 통하여 국내 실정에 맞는 압축탄성계수식과 성능평가기준의 마련이 필요하다고 판단된다.

In this study, steady state and perturbed pressures are experimentally measured under inherently compensated restrictors in externally pressurized air bearings. A piezo actuator is used for simulating small displacement perturbation in the air film. The pressures under the restrictors are measured by a miniature type pressure transducer and the height of the air film is measured by capacitance type gap sensors developed by Chapman's method. The perturbed pressure is obtained through Fourier transformation of the two signals. The measured perturbed pressures are in good agreement with the calculated values.

This paper proposes the concept of FlexPCB(flexible Printed Circuit Board) conductive structure for electrodynamic bearings. It has three main advantages: easy “printing” of considerably thin conductive wires, resulting in potential reduction in stray eddy currents; realization of specific conductive configurations with high precision to optimize the eddy current flowing; simplicity in being wound to cylinders or hollow cylinders of different diameters. To verify this new concept, the FlexPCB conductive structure was manufactured, an axial electrodynamic bearing test rig was built and the conductive structure's induced voltage was measured along the axial displacements from 0mm to 56mm at three rotating speeds. The finite element method was used to calcuatlate the flux density of electrodynamic bearing and induced voltage of the FlexPCB conductive structure. The experimental results are compared with the results from the FEM calculation. It is concluded that the measured and calculated induced voltages have consistency in the middle part of the bearing.

일반적으로 구름 베어링 시스템에 비해 발전용 터어빈이나 내연기관 엔진과 같은 저어널 베어링을 가진 시스템은 상대적으로 대형 설비이거나 더 가혹한 운전조건에서 가동되는 경우가 많다. 이런 회전기계류에서의 베어링의 파손은 설비의 운전 중단 및 관련 설비의 파손까지도 초래할 수 있게 된다. 따라서 이로 인한 보수에 소비되는 시간 및 경제적인 손실등을 피하기 위해서는 저어널 베어링의 조기파손 감지의,역할은 매우 중요하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 음향방출 기술을 이용하여 베어링에서 발생할 수 있는 파손의 조기검출을 위해 실험실용으로 직접 제작한 저어널 베어링 시스템을 이용하여 여러 형태의 비정상 조건을 만들어 가며 실험을 행하였다. 베어링 손상 및 피로의 주 요인으로서는 윤활유 부족, 윤활층에의 이물질의 혼입, 조립 불량 등이 대표적인 원인으로서 알려져 있으며 이에 근거하여 실험 조건을 윤활유에의 이물질 혼입, 윤활유 부족, 그리고 축과 베어링간의 금속간 접촉등의 인위적인 형태로 구성하여 실험하였다. 그 결과로서 음향방출 기술이 저어널 베어링의 조기파손 감지에 매우 효과적인 도구라는 것을 입증하였다.

This paper is presented for the measurement of the bearing stiffness for the spindle motors. BLDC Spindle Motors for the Hard Disk Drive are used by several kinds of the bearings, such as ball bearing, fluid dynamic bearing, and aero dynamic bearing. The spindle motors are attached the platters to read and write the data. Because the platter rotates at high end speed with the load and can be shocked from a suddenly moving, the bearing needs the rated stiffness with the pressure. By the way, it has not been realized to measure the real stiffness for each bearing types. In this paper, we proposed the method of measuring the stiffness for the bearings by using the magnet force. Experimental results show the performance to measure the bearing stiffness of the BLDC spindle motors for an HDD.
