Abstract:
A radial bearing assembly is provided. The radial bearing assembly includes polycrystalline diamond elements, each having an engagement surface in sliding engagement with an opposing engagement surface. The opposing engagement surface includes a diamond reactive material. The radial bearing assembly may be deployed in a variety of components and applications, including in rotor and stator assemblies. Also provided are methods of use of the radial bearing assembly, as well as methods of designing the radial bearing assembly.

Claim (Index 40):
A method of designing a radial bearing assembly for a rotor and a stator, wherein the radial bearing assembly includes polycrystalline diamond elements, each polycrystalline diamond element including an engagement surface in sliding engagement with an opposing engagement surface, the opposing engagement surface includes at least some diamond reactive material, the method comprising:\n determining if a maximum sliding speed of the rotor and the stator is less than a preset limit; if the maximum sliding speed is less than the preset limit, selecting a configuration of the radial bearing assembly within the rotor and the stator; calculating a maximum contact pressure per polycrystalline diamond element based on a selected number of polycrystalline diamond elements in the selected configuration of the radial bearing assembly within the rotor and the stator, and based on anticipated load, wherein the calculated maximum contact pressure is optionally multiplied by a safety factor; determining if the calculated maximum contact pressure, optionally divided by the safety factor, is below a preset maximum allowable pressure; wherein, if the calculated maximum contact pressure is determined to be below the preset maximum allowable pressure, deploying at least a minimum number of the polycrystalline diamond elements on the selected configuration of the radial bearing assembly within the rotor and the stator, and, if the number of the polycrystalline diamond elements fit on the selected configuration of the radial bearing assembly within the rotor and the stator, making the radial bearing assembly for the rotor and the stator.
