Lsf = Length of Spring, Free condition (one spring to represent many)
Lsmin = Length of Spring, MINimum
(upper bearing outer ring bottomed out against housing axial seat)
h = height of rotor above bottomed out (varies with Fapp)
Lr = Length of motor Rotor (bottom of upper brg to top of lower brg)
Lms =Length of Motor Stator
(housing axial seat below upper brg to housing axial seat above lower brg)
EP = End Play = Lr - Lms
(endplay adjustment accomplished by varying Lms for this motor)
Fapp = total APPlied Force (Weight + THrust of pump)
Ru = Reaction force on rotor from Upper bearing
Rb = Reaction force on rotor from Bottom bearing
K = spring constant (assumed constant if Lsf-Lsmin << Lsmin)
Fspring = K*(Lsf –Lsmin - h) [when not bottomed out]
Static Force balance: Ru = Rb + Fapp
*Simplifying assumption: all parts have stiffness much higher than springs => all others considered infinite stiffness. Neglect differential thermal growth which is unknown. If differential thermal growth brings endplay to zero, then the charts below don’t apply. h
