What's 'Oil Film Speed' ?

Jan 24, 2008 0 Replies

I got a analysis report on journal bearing.



On report, there are 'Oil Film Speed' Actually, I don't understand what's that meaning?



I guess 'Oil Film Speed' represents a speed of rotating oil in the journal bearing. and 'Oil Film Speed' relate to predict the oil whirl and whip in the journal bearing.



However, in my understanding, I don't know how I can use that for design and how I can calculate or measure that.



For example,



when a report has values following as:



Dampered frequency (cpm) = 1000 Oil Film Speed (cpm) = 1000 . . . etc.



What's that mean? and How can I understand?



Please, let us know the web site for studying about it.



Thanks in advanced
