Aiming at engineering application of surface texture in high speed and high precision machine tool bearings
an effective and simple process was conducted to make texture on the journal surface. The surface texture influence on rotor-journal bearing system stability was experimentally investigated. The rotor was excited by the unbalance mass
and the vibration displacements of journals with and without texture were measured and compared under supplied pressures of 0.16 MPa and 0.30 MPa
and at rotating speeds of 2 400 r/min
4 200 r/min and 6 000 r/min. The experiments reveal that the surface texture slightly affects vibration amplitude in the case of lower supplied pressure and rotating speed
but the surface texture is able to reduce vibration significantly at certain rotating speeds. The supply pressure becomes important for the bearing stability
and the vibration amplitude under higher supplied pressure gets greater than that under lower supplied pressure. However
surface texture restrains rotor-bearing system vibration effectively even if oil whirl arises
and the relative vibration amplitude reduces by 60% in the rotor with surface texture.
