To solve the difficulty in imposing high-power external excitation on a large-size journal bearing
a least square method is presented with a simplified identification model of bearing-pedestal system
considering the changeable bearing-pedestal stiffness of high-speed dynamic balancing machine. A full-size test rig is designed to fast identify the oil-film dynamic coefficients of large size journal bearings. The vibration mass and equivalent stiffness can be obtained at one time by the dynamic stiffness test
and their influences are discussed and verified by the test data of a 300 MW turbo-generator. The results show that the changes of the inherent parameters
especially the stiffness of the bearing-pedestal
obviously affect the identification accuracy. The identification results considering the changes of the inherent parameters coincide with the experimental ones. The highest identification accuracy improvement reaches 17%.
