Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A bearing including pivoted pads having flat surfaces running on a thrust face of conical form convex with respect to the flat running surfaces of the pads.
  • This invention relates to bearings and is in particular concerned with the bearing that is formed by the slipper pads and the surface on which they run of an axial piston swash plate pump or motor.
  • a bearing that includes pivoted pads and a thrust face on which the pads run in operation, the surface of each pad that runs on the thrust face being substantially flat and the thrust face being of conical form generated from a centre about which the motion of each pad is substantially circular and so as to be convex with respect to the substantially flat running surfaces of the pads.
  • the pads are the slipper pads of an axial piston swash plate pump or motor and the thrust face is the face of the swash plate on which these slipper pads run.
  • FIG. 1 diagrammatically illustrates a slipper pad running on a swash plate
  • FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic cross-sectional view taken on the line IIII of FIG. 1, and
  • FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic partly sectional view taken in the direction of arrow III of FIG. 2.
  • the slipper pad 1 of the Figures is one of the slipper pads of an axial piston pump or motor having slipper pads freely connected to pumping pistons and reacting against an inclined swash plate thereby giving the pistons, which are located in a rotating barrel, a reciprocating pumping action due to the barrel rotation.
  • the thrust face of the swash plate is referenced 2 in the Figures.
  • the running surface 1A of the slipper pad 1 is substantially flat and the thrust face 2 is frusto-conical so as to be convex with respect to the pad running face 1A, the face 2 being generated from a centre about which the motion of the slipper pad 1 is substantially circular.
  • the resultant contact between the pad and the thrust face is a line nominally along a diameter or chord of the slipper pad.
  • leading and trailing wedges are formed due to the conically surfaced swash plate, the larger ends of these wedges being on the leading and trailing edges of a slipper pad.
  • hydrodynamic lubrication occurs due to the natural formation of an oil wedge in the direction of motion of the slipper pad.
  • a bearing that includes an axial piston swash plate having pivoted slipper pads, and a swash plate having a thrust face on the pads run in operation, the surface of each pad that runs on the thrust face being substantially flat and the thrust face being of conical form generated from a centre about which the motion of each pad is substantially circular and so as to be convex with respect to the substantially flat running surfaces of the pads.
