Thrust bearings are generally designed to support the axial thrust generated from a rotating shaft. In general, the performance analysis of thrust bearings focuses on the bearing with an inclined plane. In order to provide more messages in bearing selection and designing, further analyses on performance characteristics of bearings with different film profiles is important. In the present study, the lubrication performances of thrust bearings with a sine film profile are investigated. Comparing with the inclined plane bearing, the lubrication performances of the sine film bearing are discussed through the variation of the inlet-to-outlet ratio. In addition, the present results provide useful references for industrial engineering.
Keywords: Thrust Bearings, Sine Film Profile, Lubrication Performances
