Bearing system with cantilever supports and run-in method

A rotor bearing system includes a mandrel and a plurality of canted cantilever bearing pads supporting the mandrel, such that, when the bearing pads are run-in against the mandrel, the bearing pads generate uniform bearing gaps and alignment. The mandrel and the bearing pads are sized to form a runn...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A rotor bearing system includes a mandrel and a plurality of canted cantilever bearing pads supporting the mandrel, such that, when the bearing pads are run-in against the mandrel, the bearing pads generate uniform bearing gaps and alignment. The mandrel and the bearing pads are sized to form a running proximity to exclude the entry of red blood cells or flow entrained contaminant inclusions therebetween during operation, thereby causing the bearing system to operate in an elasto-hydrodynamic regime of mixed- or boundary-lubrication.
