Radial tilting pad bearing and method for controlling an oil mass flow in a radial tilting pad bearing

摘要

The invention relates to a radial tilting pad bearing (1) for supporting a shaft (2) comprising a plurality of tilting segments (3) distributed over the circumference of the radial tilting pad bearing (1) and spaced from one another, wherein between the individual tilting segments (3 ) Oil pocket (4) are formed, which are acted upon via an oil supply (5) with an oil mass flow (m). Each oil pocket (4) has its own individual controllable oil supply (5) via which the oil mass flows (ṁ ₁ to ṁ ₄ ) which is supplied to the respective oil pocket (4), is adjustable. Furthermore, the invention comprises a method for controlling the oil mass flow (m) in such a radial tilting pad bearing (1).
