A Review On The Modelling And Experimentation Of Journal Bearing Using Elastomers

Abstract

When it comes to the water-lubricated systems, Thordon Bearings have emerged as a potential solution, providing a long-term and environmentally responsible replacement for conventional oil-based lubricants.Examining the effectiveness and advantages of thordon Bearings in water-lubricated applications is the goal of this study. To ascertain the operating limits and performance characteristics of thornton bearings under various working circumstances, the process includes laboratory testing. Ansys software is utilized for analysis, while Solid Works software is used for 3D modeling. According to a literature review, Thordon Bearings often exhibit higher resistance to chemical corrosion, lowering the likelihood of system failures and upkeep requirements. It is planned to do additional research by altering the design parameters.
