Effects of Fit Clearance and Viscosity of Lubricating Oil on Shaft Center Orbit of Camshaft
Journal Title: Power Engineering and Engineering Thermophysics - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
In an oil-film lubricating system, fit clearance and the different types of lubricating oil can result in changes in the orbit of shaft center, thereby affecting the stability of the system. Subject of this paper is the camshaft lubricating system of airspace engine, to figure out the effects of fit clearance and the type of lubricating oil on the shaft center orbit of camshaft, in this study, a 3D model of the camshaft lubricating system was built for simulation purpose based on Reynolds equation, and the calculation results suggest that, as the fit clearance grows larger, the convergence position of shaft center gradually moves away from the starting position, and the stability of shaft center declines; in terms of the type of lubricating oil, the higher the viscosity of the lubricating oil, the closer of the position of shaft center to the starting point, and the higher the stability. Our research method can be applied to common oil-film lubricating systems and we hope it could provide a theoretical evidence for the selection of fit clearance and type of lubricating oil for such systems.
