100 mm Radial Bearing Static / Dynamic Test Facility

The 100 mm (4-inch) diameter radial bearing static / dynamic test facility:

  • measures bearing static characteristics at speeds up to 16,500 rpm and loads to 7,000 lb.
  • accurate measurement of bearing metal temperatures
  • polar dynamic loading cycle, with computer control of the input forces from electromagnetic shakers
  • measurement of bearing dynamic characteristics, including shaft orbit and stiffness/ damping coefficients
  • up to 7 gpm (US) oil flowrate with inlet temperature to 70°C (± 1°C accuracy)
  • capability to apply and control bearing misalignment
  • shaft to bearing contact resistance measurements
  • particle injection for evaluation of lubricant filtration mediums.
