The elliptical bearings for the nuclear power generator are tested on the full-size balancing machine with single generator capacity of 1 750 MW. The tile temperature
oil film pressure
oil film thickness and other lubricating properties of the elliptical bearings are measured. The bearing calculation software and ANSYS are combined to evaluate the static performances considering the tile surface deformation. The results show that the tile surface thermo-elastic deformation gets the same magnitude of film thickness
thus the tile deformation ought be attended in the design of large heavy sliding bearings. At the rated speed of 1 500 r/min
the highest tile temperature reaches 82.8 ℃ and the maximum oil film pressure reaches 6.65 MPa at the measuring points. The deviations of temperature and pressure between the prediction and experiments get less than 5%. The minimum film thickness is measured as 254 μm at the rated speed and the deviations reaches 15.21%
the maximum error reaches 21.36% at the speed of 1 000-1 600 r/min.
