摘要:
A turbocharger for an internal combustion engine includes a center housing which defines a bore, a recess, and an annular groove. The annular groove and the recess may be configured to receive a fluid. A bearing is disposed within the bore proximate to the a turbine wheel such that the bearing, together with the rotating shaft, feeds fluid to the annular groove and recess. The shaft may be further coupled to the turbine wheel at a proximate end and a compressor wheel at a distal end. The shaft has a longitudinal axis and is supported by the bearing for rotation within the bore about the axis. The annular groove is in fluid communication with a drain gallery via a conduit.

A turbocharger includes a housing and a rotary assembly disposed within the housing and including a turbine wheel and a compressor wheel attached to one another by a shaft. A bearing is disposed in the housing and rotatably supports the shaft. The bearing includes a pair of inner bearing surfaces that engage opposite ends of the shaft and a pair of outer bearing surfaces that engage the housing. The pair of inner bearing surfaces have a first axial dimension and the pair of outer bearing surfaces have a second axial dimension that is smaller than the first axial dimension.

A turbocharger including a housing and a rotary assembly disposed within the housing and including a turbine wheel and a compressor wheel attached to one another by a shaft. The rotary assembly being subject to aero-load in a lateral direction. A bearing is disposed in the housing and rotatably supports the shaft, the bearing including an inner bearing surface that engages the shaft and an outer bearing surface that engages the housing, the outer bearing surface having a pair of axially extending recessed grooves extending at least partially along the bearing. The pair of axially extending grooves being located perpendicular to the aero-load direction
摘要:
A turbocharger is provided including a turbine wheel and a compressor wheel attached to one another by a shaft. A thrust plate includes a plate body having an aperture there through and defining a plurality of circumferentially spaced pad regions that define a land region that is perpendicular to a rotational axis of the shaft. The plate body further defines a plurality of two stage slope regions adjacent to each of the land regions. The two stage slope regions include a steep slope portion and a gradual slope portion disposed between the steep slope portion and the land regions. The rotary assembly of the turbocharger including a thrust surface that engages the pad regions. The two-stage slope regions provide improved loading capacity by the combination of better lubricant oil availability due to the steep slope region and optimized tribological performance due to the gradual slope region.
