Application of a compliant foil bearing for the thrust force estimation in the single stage radial blower

Blog Article

The paper presents the application of a compliant foil bearing for redken shades eq 07m driftwood estimation of the thrust force in a single stage radial blower under operational conditions.The bump foil of the thrust bearing behaves as a nonlinear spring.The knowledge of the spring deflection curve allows estimation of the actual thrust force for a measured bump deflection at the given rotational speed.

To acquire the deflection curve, static calibration of the axial shaft displacement sensor was silver lining herbs kidney support performed.During the calibration, the information about voltage signals of the sensor for the given loading force was collected.The measured voltage values at different speeds and loadswere then converted into the thrust force.

The results were verified by comparison to the thrust force resulting from the pressure distribution on the impeller.
