✦ Synopsis


The permanent magnetic bearing and the small-sized hydrodynamic spiral groove bearing are utilized as supports for the rotor of the energy storage ywheel system. The hydrodynamic bearing and the squeeze ÿlm damper do not need the oil cycle to remove the heat caused by friction because the friction loss is small. The linear dynamics model with four degrees of freedom is built to describe the vibration of the ywheel rotor-bearing system. The squeeze ÿlm dampers show good behavior in suppressing the vibration and improving the stability of the rotor-bearing system. The analytical solution of the dynamic characteristic coe cients of the squeeze ÿlm is achieved from Reynolds equation after some simpliÿcations are taken. The numerical computation shows that the moment unbalance excites larger vibration of the rotor than the force unbalance. The upper damper plays an important role in helping the rotor pass its critical speed. The damping coe cient of the squeeze ÿlm dampers should be selected carefully. The ywheel arrived at the speed of 39; 000 rpm and stored the energy of 308 Wh in the experiment. The calculated unbalance response is compared to the test response of the rotor storing quantities of kinetic energy. The comparison indicates that the dynamics model of the rotor-bearing-damper system is appropriate.
