The program is intended for design and control of hydrodynamic thrust bearing and plain bearing with tilting pads. The program can solve other problems such as viscosity of lubricants, parameters of friction materials, etc.
The program includes and addresses the following:
- Design of thrust plain bearing dimensions based on load and operating conditions.
- Check calculation of various types of bearings.
- Proposal of suitable lubricant, oil database, viscosity calculations.
- Calculation of operating temperatures, coefficient of friction, lubricant flow and other parameters.
- Database of sliding materials and their parameters.
The calculation is based on data, procedures and algorithms from specialized literature, standards and company catalogues.
