The traditional bearing applied in the turbo-pump for the hydraulic servo system is rolling element bearing. To satisfy the demand of the high rotating speed for turbo-pump, the oil lubricated foil bearing can be employed in the rotor system. For the working liquid of the servo system is oil and the rotor for the turbo pump is submerged in the hydraulic oil, the bearing has to operate in an oil-rich environment, where the air bearing cannot be employed. The theoretical analysis and numerical simulation are carried out in this study to investigate the static and dynamic characteristics of multi-leaf oil lubricated foil bearing. For the structure form of the multi-leaf foil bearing with five symmetrical arrangements, the foil deformation equation and the Reynolds equation are solved coupled by successive over relaxation method, where the Reynolds boundary condition is employed. Then the load capacity, lift-off speed and static equilibrium position are acquired. By deriving the dynamic deformation equation of the foil, the dynamic stiffness coefficients and damping coefficients are obtained based on the perturbation method. The effect of the rotating speed and perturbation frequency on dynamic characteristics is analyzed. It indicates that the load capacity of the multi-leaf foil bearing is smaller than that of the fixed geometry oil bearing without foil deformation, whereas the stability of the bearing is increased.

Mechanical seal is the core component of the servo system. It’s sealing, reliability and wear resistance depend not only on the structural design of the seal, but also on the matching of friction pair materials on the end face of the seal. On the basis of the feasibility study of ion implantation on the surface of the seal ring, a comprehensive test scheme is proposed to verify the friction and wear characteristics of the seal pair. By selecting typical graphite and rotating metal ring pairs to test and test under dry grinding conditions, changing the linear velocity and the end face specific pressure, the friction and wear characteristics of paired friction pairs are compared and analyzed by using friction and wear testing machine, the influence of load and rotational speed on the pair friction coefficient of sealing pair is systematically studied, and the sealing tribological characteristics are revealed. This paper introduces mechanical-seal work reliability of temperature stress and system test performace based seal pair, the application of these plans will provide a reasonable and efficient technical way for the verification of life and reliability test of ultra-high speed mechanical seal.
