Development of Sintered Oilless Bearing using Fluid-Dynamic Mechanism For High-RPM Application
Sintered oilless bearing using fluid-dynamic mechanism for high revolution of over 10,000 rpm was developed by Powder metallurgy Process. Developed bearing was composed of Fe-40-60%Cu of which inner face consisted of six-regular-prominence-and-depression. Inner face has controlled pore size and amount according to application. Jitter and friction properties were tested under assembled conditions with housing and motor. Bearing-own properties and precision were also tested because of demanding for assembled properties. Measurement-skill as well as mould-production-skill were investigated for the precision of bearing. Final precision reached 2 in inner diameter tolerance and 5 in coaxiality under assembled conditions.
