Research on Load-carrying Performances of Magnetic-fluid Lubricationfor Mill Oil-film Bearing

摘要

The FEM model of lubricating oil film was built with mill oil-film bearing as the research target, the analysis system of magnetic-fluid lubricating oil film for oil-film bearing was developed. APDL and CEL languages were applied to compile the inner analytical programs, and the combination of VB, ANSYS Mechanical with ANSYS CFX was perfectly realized. Through the numerical simulation of magnetic-fluid lubricating film, the load-carrying performances of oil-film bearing with magnetic-fluid lubrication were analyzed, and the relationship among magnetic field intensity with oil-film pressure and temperature was quantitatively calculated. The numerical results have shown that the magnetic-fluid lubrication has obvious influences on oil-film pressure when magnetic field was applied on oil-film bearing, the lubricating viscosity increases with the magnetic-fluid intensity, and the oil-film pressure and temperature also increase with magnetic-field intensity. However, the increasing increment of oil-film temperature is far lower than that of oil-film pressure. The above conclusions prove that magnetic fluid with proper magnetic field can effectively improve the load-carrying capacity of lubricating oil film and enhances the stability of oil-film pressure. Moreover, the adjustable intelligent oil-film pressure with magnetic field is deduced to be feasible.
