Power Loss in Thrust Bearings :
- Thrust bearings locate the rotor axially and absorb axial thrust forces.
- They often serve both thrust and radial bearing purposes.
- Excess thrust, viscosity changes, or solids in fluid can overload bearings.
- Bearing overload leads to friction, overheating, and premature failure.
- Rolling elements such as balls and rollers reduce friction efficiently.
Uses :
- Widely used in automotive, marine, and aerospace systems.
- Commonly applied in pumps, turbines, and rotating machinery.
Formula :
-
Power Loss in Thrust Bearings = 0.0000007 × Rotational Speed × Total Thrust
How to Calculate ?
- Enter the rotational speed in RPM.
- Enter the total thrust in pounds.
- Click “Calculate” to get the power loss.
- Click “Reset” to clear all values.
