EHL Film Thickness Calculator (Central and Minimum): Elliptical (Point) Contact

An EHL Film Thickness Calculator allows calculating central and minimum film thicknesses in a full film lubricated elliptical (point) contact as a function of entrainment speed. The central and minimum film thicknesses are calculated using equations developed by Hamrock & Dowson [1], Chittenden et al [2] and Nijenbanning & Moes [3,4]. The equations used in the calculator are given below the calculator along with the definitions and references. The calculator allows choosing one of the three equations in the calculations. Read More
