In this study, the characteristics of herringbone grooved air thrust berings are studied. It is shown that a generalized coordinate transformation method which was developed for handling complex geometry such as herring bone groove journal bearings is well applied to herringbone grooved air thrust bearings. The load carrying capacity and stiffness and damping coefficients are calculated according to the design parameters like groove depth or the number of grooves and compared to that of plain air journal bearings.

In this study, the stiffness and damping coefficients of herringbone grooved air journal bearings are studied. A generalized coordinate transformation method to handle the complex geometry of incompressible fluid bearing is modified for compressible fluid. The modified equations are discretized by the base of finite difference method. A new computer program using Visual C++ language is developed. The load carrying capacity and stiffness and damping coefficients are calculated according to the design parameters like groove depth or the number of grooves and compared to that of plain air journal bearings.

In this paper, numerical analyses were undertaken to calculate the static and dynamic performances of step-pocket, inward pumping spiral grooved, outward pumping spiral grooved and herringbone grooved bearings. For each bearing, optimal values for various design parameters were obtained to maximize the load capacity and the stiffness and bearing performances were calculated. The optimized performances of these bearings were compared to conclude that the performance of step-pocket bearing is better than the other bearings.

This research numerically analyzes the dynamic characteristics of a coupled journal and thrust hydrodynamic bearing due to its groove location which has the static load due to the weight of a rotor in the axial direction and the dynamic load due to its mass unbalance in the radial direction. The Reynolds equation is transformed to solve a plain member rotating type of journal bearing(PMRJ), a grooved member rotating type of journal bearing (GMRJ), a plain member rotating type of thrust bearing (PMRT) and a grooved member rotating type of thrust bearing (GMRT). FEM is used to solve the Reynolds equations in order to calculate the pressure distribution in a fluid film. Reaction forces and friction torque are obtained by integrating the pressure and shear stress along the fluid film, respectively. Dynamic behaviors, such as whirl radius or floating height of a rotor, are determined by solving its nonlinear equations of motion with the Runge-Kutta method. This research shows that the groove location affects the pressure distribution in the fluid film and consequently the dynamic performance of a HDD spindle system.

The experimental characterization of hydrodynamic bearing spindle motor is performed for the practical implementation of high-performance hard disk drive system. Firstly, the design concept of hydrodynamic bearing for the disk drive system is addressed including the herringbone grooved journal bearing, the spiral grooved thrust bearing, capillary seal design, and the viscous pumping of fluid. Secondly, the experimental evaluation is performed for the disk drive system in which the hydrodynamic bearing spindle motor is implemented and its dynamic performances are compared with conventional ball-bearing spindle motor. The key parameters include NRRO(Non Repeatable Run-Out), disk dynamics, acoustics, and resultant PES (Position Error Signal). Finally, the external gyro-exciting test results including 200k CSS(Continuous Start-Stop) on three angular attitudes(0,90, 180 degree) are presented in order to verify the practical reliability of disk drive system subject to the gyro-motion of hydrodynamic bearing spindle motor.

This paper numerically analyzes the dynamic characteristics of a spindle system supported by two identical journal bearingsconsidering bearing span that has dynamic load due to its mass unbalance. The Reynolds equation is transformed to solve a herringbone grooved journal bearing. The Reynolds equations are solved using FEM in order to calculate the pressure distribution in a fluid film. Reaction forces and friction torque are obtained by integrating the pressure and shear stress along the fluid film, respectively. Dynamic behaviors, such as whirl radius or angular displacement of a rotor, are determined by solving its nonlinear equations of motion with the Runge-Kutta method. This research shows that the same bearing spans of upper and lower journal bearings produce the minimum runout and friction torque of a spindle system.

최근 회전계의 고속화, 소형화 및 정숙운전에 대한 요구가 엄격해짐에 따라 볼베어링을 저어널베어링으로 대체하는 흐름이 증가하고 있으나, 저어널베어링의 기본 구조상 운전시 여러 종류의 진동모드가 발생되며 이에 따라 엄밀한 설계가 요구된다. 이러한 요구에 따라 본 연구에서는 불안정성을 억제할 수 있는 것으로 알려진 빗살무늬 저어널베어링을 대상으로 하여 보다 정확한 설계를 위한 수치해석 프로그램을 개발하였다. 빗살무늬저어널베어링의 해석법으로는 간극의 비선형성을 단순화 시키기 위하여 무한홈을 가정한 협곡이론을 시초로 하여 최근에는 컴류터 계산속도의 발달로 실제 형상에 대해 해석한 직접계산법 등이 알려져 있다. 직접계산법은 협곡이론에 의한 계산법에 비해 많은 시간이 걸리는 단점이 있으나, 베어링이 소형화되어 실제 많은 홈을 가공하기 힘들거나 홈이 원호형으로서 직각홈으로 가정하기가 곤란한 요소에서는 협곡이론을 적용하는데 무리가 있을 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 직접계산법을 채택하여 소형 베어링 모델에 대한 부하특성을 수치해석하고, 이를 협곡이론과의 비교를 통하여 그 차이점을 검토하였다. 이를 위해 압축성을 고려한 레이놀즈 방정식에 대한 베어링 주위의 압력분포를 계산하는 프로그램을 제작하였으며, 주어진 설계조건하에서 빗살무늬 형상을 결정하는 피라미터들의 최적값을 산출하고, 아울러 플레인저어널베어링과의 비교를 통하여 설계조건에 따른 빗살무늬저어널베어링의 기존 불베어리의 대체 가능성을 평가하였다.
