Low-vibration floating metal bearing

摘要

A low-vibration floating metal bearing includes a slide bearing. The slide bearing includes oil supply holes formed at six isogonal positions in an isotropic manner with respect to an axial center, and a substantially circular bearing hole having a surface on which at least six regions with different fluid lubrication conditions are formed by inner machining so as to be continuously disposed at isogonal positions in an isotropic manner with isotropic distance with respect to an axial center. Each of the regions with different fluid lubrication conditions forms a narrow flow path that is substantially convex in cross section and extends in an axial center direction in an oil flow path by changing the amount of clearance between the surface of the substantially circular bearing hole and the surface of a substantially circular axis.

1. A low-vibration floating metal bearing comprising a slide bearing, the slide bearing comprising:
oil supply holes formed at six isogonal positions in an isotropic manner with respect to an axial center; and a substantially circular bearing hole having a surface on which at least six regions with different fluid lubrication conditions are formed by inner machining so as to be continuously disposed at isogonal positions in the isotropic manner with isotropic distance with respect to an axial center, wherein each of the regions with different fluid lubrication conditions forms a narrow flow path that is substantially convex in cross section and extends in an axial center direction in an oil flow path by changing the amount of clearance between the surface of the substantially circular bearing hole and a surface of a substantially circular axis, and the narrow flow path causes a change in oil pressure to give a self-centering effect and suppress occurrence of noise from a low rotational speed range to a high rotational speed range.
