12、preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental,

13、 in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.The main tas

14、k of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.

This International Standard is an attempt to elabo

17、rate a test method for the basic performance of a foil bearing. ISO 2012 All rights reserved vBS ISO 13939:2012Foil bearings Guidelines for testing of the performance of foil journal bearings Testing of load capacity, friction coefficient and lifetime1 ScopeThis International Standard describes a me

18、thod of comparing the performance test results of foil journal bearings, which are lubricated by air (gas) and supported by hydrodynamic force generated by the rotation of the rotating shaft. The test procedure proposed in this International Standard aims to predict and evaluate the static load capa

19、city, friction coefficient and lifetime of the foil journal bearing, and compare the results with those occurring under different test conditions, i.e. dimensions of a foil bearing, rotational speed of a shaft, pressure and humidity of surroundings and so on. The magnitude of the static load capacit

20、y can change according to the test setting, as the test conditions can be changed.The test method described in this International Standard has the following application coverage:a) the criterion of the static load capacity is the steady-state, i.e. it is applied in a limited operating condition with

21、 a uniform magnitude, load direction and rotational speed;b) the evaluation procedure can be applied only if the foil journal bearing is under a uniform rotating inertia at an arbitrary rotational speed;c) the dynamic load with a time-variant magnitude and direction is not taken into consideration;d

22、) for the purposes of this International Standard (these guidelines), the configuration of a typical foil journal bearing is presented in Annex A.2 SymbolsFor the purposes of this document, the following symbols apply.INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 13939:2012(E) ISO 2012 All rights reserved 1BS ISO 1393

27、rscript Description (shown on X)XNon-dimensional value3 Purpose of testThe primary purpose of the test is to measure and evaluate the static load capacity, friction coefficients and lifetime of the foil journal bearing. These are the primary performance metrics of the foil journal bearing as a mecha

28、nical element with a specific dimension. These are closely related to the performance of the mechanical systems to which the bearings are applied.4 Test conditions4.1 GeneralIn order to compare the static load capacity, the test should be performed after the ambient pressure, temperature and humidit

29、y of the environment in which the bearing operates have reached a state of equilibrium. The bearing performance is obtained by measuring the bearing torque and the rotational speed of the shaft. In this case, the take-off speed, at which the shaft floats on the top foil without contact, may be obser

30、ved. Bearing performance should be measured and compared at a rotational speed which is higher than the take-off speed.4.2 Design of test facilityThe bearing test facility should be designed to control the relative position of the bearing in relation to the shaft. The bearing housing may be connecte

31、d to a separate supporter, such as a spring or springs. Otherwise, a vibration-proof facility may be applied in order to prevent perturbation, which can have a severe effect on the test results. Also, excessive friction can have a severe effect on the test results due to misalignment of the bearing.

32、4.3 Installation of sensorsThe equipment to measure the bearing torque and static load capacity of the foil journal bearings may be installed as shown in Figure 1. Using the measurement system clarified in Figure 1, the bearing torque and applied load may be measured and calculated as explained in 4

33、.4.As shown in Figure 2, the displacement sensors are installed at right angles to each other at both ends of the bearing housing. The displacement of the shaft centre may be observed by measuring and comparing the values arrived at. The rotational speed of the shaft may be obtained by applying a fa

34、st Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm to the measured displacement data or by the use of a rotational speed meter. A thermocouple is installed inside the bearing housing to measure the temperatures of surrounding air (gas). To measure the surface temperature of a top foil, the thermocouple should be

35、welded to the top foil surface.

37、easured using a load cell linked to the torque rod installed on the outside of the housing. Then, the bearing torque, T, generated by the rotation of the shaft is obtained as the product of the friction force, F, and the distance, r, between the two centres of the housing and load cell, as given by

38、Formula (1):TF r= (1)whereT is the bearing torque;F is the friction force;r is the distance between the housing centre and the sensor-linked location of the torque rod.The net load, Fw,n, exerted on the foil journal bearing, as shown in Figure 1, is obtained by subtracting the applied load, Fw,a, me

39、asured from the load cell installed between the housing and the loading apparatus to the mass of the housing, Fw,h. Where the load is applied in the lower direction, the net load, Fw,n, is obtained by adding the mass of the housing, Fw,h, to the applied load, Fw,a.4.5 Test specimensThe housing, bump

41、e load-carrying capacity is evaluated after sufficient preheating has taken place. The variables necessary for test and estimation are presented in the test report (see Annex B).5.2 Start-stop test cycle and evaluation of the take-off speedUsing an electric motor or a turbine operated by a high-pres

42、sure air supply system, rotate the shaft and then the foil journal bearing starts to operate. Once the shaft begins its rotation, the bearing torque should be measured as the speed of rotation is gradually increased.Figure 3 shows a typical example of variation in bearing torque, which is measured w

43、ith the rotational speed of the shaft from the start-stop test. As the rotational speed increases, the bearing torque increases suddenly at a certain rotational speed and then decreases to maintain the steady-state condition with a relatively constant torque value. As the bearing torque decreases to

44、 meet its steady value, the rotational speed is determined as the take-off speed of the foil journal bearing and should be recorded in the test report (see Annex B). As the rotational speed decreases to zero, the bearing torque suddenly rises again and then decreases.Figure 3 Rotational speed versus

45、 bearing torque6 ISO 2012 All rights reservedBS ISO 13939:2012ISO 13939:2012(E)The following processes comprise a single start-stop test cycle.a) Firstly, the load for the start-stop test should be determined and applied. Where selecting a load to evaluate the load capacity and lifetime of the beari

46、ng, the loading value exerted on the actual rotating system should be applied. Otherwise, the initial applied load, Fw, for a start-stop test may be calculated as follows, as a rule of thumb, then applied load, Fw,a, may be evaluated by the test process in 5.3.FCLddw= ( )( ) (2)whereC is the coeffic

47、ient of foil bearing load capacity, i.e. equal to 2 000;L is the axial length of top foil, in millimetres (mm);d is the shaft diameter, in millimetres (mm); is the shaft rotational speed, in thousands of revolutions per minute (r/min).b) After the shaft reaches the take-off speed, the state should c

48、ontinue for 15 s, and then the power to the motor should be shut off to maintain a stopped state for 5 s.c) This process is defined as a start-stop test. In the start-stop test, the rotational speed, the accumulated number of shaft rotations, the bearing torque, the temperature inside the housing an

49、d the top foil surface are observed.5.3 Evaluation of static load capacityThe static load capacity, Fw,s, is the maximum steady load which may be delivered by a foil bearing in a steady-state condition.The following is the process to determine the static load capacity.a) The rotational speed of the shaft is controlled to a given test speed, for example the speed of the actual foil bearing; measurement shall not take place before thermal equilibrium is reache
