Aerostatic bearings have been employed as an essential precision engineering element
and enabling technology in numerous applications requiring precision and ultraprecision …

Since the publication of the best-selling first edition, the growing price and environmental
cost of energy have increased the significance of tribology. Handbook of Lubrication and …

This paper has studied the influences of both the number and locations of entry holes on the
stability of a rigid rotational rotor supported by two double-row, orifice compensated …

With low friction, high rotational speed and low motion error, the aerostatic bearings have
been widely applied to the high speed rotating and high precision machines. However …

Demands for higher rotational speed and accuracy for effective manufacture of small holes
on printed circuit boards and very small precise parts have been increasing remarkably …

Process fluid-lubricated thrust bearings (TBs) in a turbomachine control rotor placement due
to axial loads arising from pressure fields on the front shroud and back surface of impellers …

This paper studies static and dynamic characteristics of a rigid spindle supported by
aerostatic bearings which are compensated by orifices and inherences. Eigen-solution …

The dynamic characteristics of a hybrid aerostatic bearing are experimentally investigated
on a test rig consisting of a rigid rotor driven by an impulse turbine. The rotor is horizontally …

Externally pressurized grooved gas thrust bearings for shaft systems were studied both
numerically and experimentally. Three thrust bearings composed of a symmetric pair of rings …

In high-speed machining there are a number of applications in which the spindle is
supported by air bearings. This type of bearings has very low friction and wear, resulting in …
