The performance of centrally loaded liquid-lubricated 180° partial hydrodynamic journal bearings with shaft misalignment is considered. Misalignment is restricted to shaft tilt about an axis normal to a plane bisecting the bearing arc, as would arise from elastic deflection of the shaft under load. The results of numerical calculations for L/D ratios of 1, ½, and ¼ and a range of tilt angles are presented in the form of nomograms, design charts and tables. The effect of misalignment on bearing performance is discussed and illustrated with sample calculations.
