Purpose
The purpose of this study with the rapid development of the heavy/large mechanical equipment, the heavy computer numerical control (CNC) vertical lathe has become the ideal processing equipment for the parts of those mechanical equipments. The main factor which affects the machining quality and efficiency of heavy CNC vertical lathe is the mechanical properties of the hydrostatic thrust bearing.
Design/methodology/approach
This paper did the research based on the large size sector oil pad’s lubrication performance of the hydrostatic thrust bearing in the heavy/large equipments, establishing the lubrication performance distribution mathematical model of the velocity field, flow field, pressure field and so on, analyzing the bearing behavior of the large size sector oil pad.
Findings
The results show that the oil flow generated by the plate relative motion will be greater than that generated by the pressure difference in area B, with the rotational speed’s increasing of the hydrostatic thrust bearing, and the direction is opposite. The oil flow generated by the centrifugal force will be greater than that generated by the pressure difference in area C, with the rotational speed’s increasing of the hydrostatic thrust bearing, and the direction is opposite. When the rotational speed of the hydrostatic thrust bearing is too high, the friction heat will be not easy to be sent out. The bearing rotating speed should be lower than the comparatively smaller one of ω1 and ω2, which can help avoid the rise of too high temperature.
Originality/value
The research provides powerful theoretical foundation for practical application of the large size sector oil pad hydrostatic thrust bearing, its structure design and operating reliability, realizing the lubrication performance prediction of the large size hydrostatic thrust bearing.
