Research on the conversion method between the maximum oil film pressure and the measuring point oil film pressure of the tilting pad journal bearing

Abstract Currently, in order for the Chinese naval forces to achieve strategic transformation and move towards the deep blue sea, there is an urgent need to enhance the capabilities of far-sea operations. Most naval ships in various countries use gas turbines as the power source, and the bearings supporting the transmission shafts of gas turbines are the key components restricting their performance. This paper conducts research on the tilting pad journal bearings in gas turbines and proposes a conversion method between the oil film pressure at the bearing measuring point and the maximum pressure of the pad.
