2 Justification In oil-free rotating machinery, foil bearings are low maintenance elements that dispense of expensive lubrication systems, saving on footprint, weight, and cost. Experience with metal mesh dampers and small metal mesh foil bearings show their large damping capability. Underspring structures that are easier to manufacture and design motivate engineers to use foil bearings. MMFTB, 1
3 Objective and Tasks Bring metal mesh foil bearings (radial & thrust) to a commercialization level 1. Revamp test rig for the dynamic load characterization of metal mesh pads. 2. With radial MMFB (5 pads): measure lift-off speed, break away & drag torque for tests with shaft speed to 40 krpm and static load (~180 kpa, W 300 lbf). 3. Design and manufacture a novel metal mesh foil thrust bearing. 4. Design, construct and troubleshoot a test rig for evaluation of foil thrust bearings and perform static (no rotation) tests with a metal mesh foil bearing. MMFTB, 2
4 Components of a Metal Mesh Thrust Foil Bearing Components: Solid metal support Stainless steel Rayleigh-step top foil Metal mesh underspring (circular sheets) MMFTB, 3
5 Metal Mesh Sheets & Mass Ratio Circular metal mesh layers laser cut from larger sheets of mesh Mass ratio (compactness) for a metal mesh pad: MR m A MM w copper MM d MR = 44, 51 and 59% CR > 30% typical MMFTB, 4
6 Industrial Metal Mesh (OPI: openings per inch) Three types of metal mesh procured (20, 30 and 40 OPI). Larger OPI : finer mesh and higher mass ratio Manufacturer delivered 11 sheets of each type of mesh, each within ±0.10 g Circular Mesh Sheets from TWP Inc. Parameters for metal mesh sheets. Density of Copper, ρ c = 8,960 kg/m OPI 30 OPI 40 OPI Wire Diameter, w d [mm] Square Opening Size [mm] Measured Mass per Circular Sheet, m MM [g] (±0.10) (±0.10) (±0.10) Area, A MM [cm 2 ] Mass Ratio, MR [-] MMFTB, 5
7 A Rayleigh Step Top Foil Bump-type Foil Thrust Bearing Metal Mesh Foil Thrust Bearing Corrugated bump foil strips support sector shaped top foils Hydrodynamic wedge formed by taper in top foil Structural damping from deformation of bumps and dry friction between the bump foil, top foil and bearing support Uniform circular mesh layer support a Rayleigh-step top foil with multiple pads Hydrodynamic wedge formed by sharp step, etched into the metal top foil Structural damping from material hysteresis and dry friction between wire connections and the bearing support and top foil MMFTB, 6
8 Manufacturing a Rayleigh Step Top Foil Vacco-Etch manufactured step top foils via a photo-chemical etching process ( ). 1 2 Starts with a 12 x 12 thin metal sheet 3 Etch forms the pads and fixture locations (holes) A second etch cuts a step into each of the six pads MMFTB, 7
9 Manufacturing a Rayleigh Step Top Foil Vacco manufactured 9 top foils for prototype MMTFB: 3 top foils with step 15 from leading edge, 3 with step 22.5, and 3 with a negative slant orientation. (a) Step location Θ L / Θ P = 1/3 (b) Step location Θ L / Θ P = 1/2 (c) Negative Slant, 0 Θ L 45 MMFTB, 8

14 Components of the Foil Bearing Test Rig Electromagnetic Shaker Aerostatic Loading Plenum MMFTB, 27 Router Motor, Motor Base and Thrust Collar Load Shaft and Test Bearing
15 Functionality of Aerostatic Load Plenum Functionality: 7.9 bara shop air supplies to the guide bushings at two locations. The guide bushings float the shaft (no friction) while also sealing the central chamber. A precise (CV= 0.03) control valve regulates static pressure in the central chamber by varying outlet flow. Supply flow path Cooling flow path Resultant load Static pressure in the central chamber exerts a load on the shaft (and test bearing) F ~ ΔP A SL MMFTB, 13
16 MMFTBs Load vs. Static Deflection [b] Bearings with 2 MM sheets Increasing pad compactness (OPI) increases bearing stiffness. Structural stiffness ranges between 1-85 MN/m. MMFTB, 14
17 MMFTBs Load vs. Static Deflection [a] Bearings with 1 sheet [c] Bearings with 3 sheets Bearing with a single sheet (not practical) is very stiff MMFTB, 15
18 Comparison to a bump-foil TB [Stahl] Foil bearings should have similar structural stiffness to compare their performance with rotor speed. Three test MMFTBs have similar structural stiffness to that of BFTB of Stahl. Stahl, B.J., 2012, Thermal Stability and Performance of Foil Thrust Bearings, MS Thesis, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH. MMFTB, 16
