Experimental Stability Study on Herringbone-Microgrooved Journal Bearing in an Impeller-Spindle
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 March 2012
Abstract
The reliability of the impeller-spindle with respect to the effects of abnormal vibrations and noises is relative to the whirl rotation in notebook (NB) computers, all-in-one (AIO) desktop systems, and tablet PCs. This study experimentally investigates the stability of a herringbone-microgrooved journal bearing in an impeller-spindle under static radial forces.The experimental device operated at 2700, 3600, 4200, and 4900rpm, with a static load ranging from 0.4, 0.8, and 1.6N. The experiment obtained the stiffness and damping coefficients, and the study involved analyzing the stability. Results show that the dimensionless threshold speed of rotation decreased as the Sommerfeld number increased. The proposed impeller-spindle is stable when the Sommerfeld number is less than 59, indicating that the impeller-spindle should not operate at an eccentricity ratio below 0.18.
