Axis orientation stability of aerostatic bearing spindles has great influence on machining
precision of ultra-precision fly cutting machines used for processing ultra-precision optical …

The undesirable pressure depression in aerostatic bearing will cause the loss of aerostatic
bearing load capacity. Therefore, the method of “separation of variables”(MSV) for solution …

This paper presents the nonlinear analysis of stability and dynamic rotational accuracy of an
unbalanced rotor supported by aerostatic journal bearings. A finite element method is …

Aerostatic bearings are the key component of ultra-precision machine tools, and the bearing
performance is critical to the machining accuracy and reliability. The characteristics of the air …

A low-cost pure pneumatic control is presented as a semi-active compensation to increase
the stiffness of pneumatic air bearings. A prototype of the pneumatic control valve was …

Active compensation is an effective method for increasing air bearing static and dynamic
performance. This paper describes the design, modelling and experimental validation of an …

This paper concerns the dynamic characterization of rubber O‐rings used to introduce
damping in high speed gas bearing systems. O‐shaped rubber rings composed of high …

Under misalignment condition, the film thickness distribution of aerostatic journal bearings is
changed comparing with condition without misalignment, which results in the change of …

In this study, the pneumatic hammer instability phenomena in the aerostatic journal bearing–
rotor system is analysed and discussed for different feeding hole configurations theoretically …

Aerostatic bearings have been widely applied to high-rotating speed machines due to their
low friction and high rotational speed advantages. The geometry parameters, supply …
