Abstract: This paper describes the pressure distribution in the bearing clearance of circular aerostatic thrust bearings with a single air supply inlet. For high air supply pressure, large bearing clearance, ...

Abstract: Aerostatic porous bearings have been successfully applied to various precision devices such as machine tools and measuring equipment to achieve a higher accuracy of motion. However, aerostatic ...

Abstract: This paper deals with a noncontact moving table using squeeze-film gas bearings for a linear motion guide, and investigates the dynamic behavior of the moving table under impulse load, ...
