Book excerpt: Comprehensive treatise on gas bearing theory, design and application This book treats the fundamental aspects of gas bearings of different configurations (thrust, radial, circular, conical) and operating principles (externally pressurized, self-acting, hybrid, squeeze), guiding the reader throughout the design process from theoretical modelling, design parameters, numerical formulation, through experimental characterisation and practical design and fabrication. The book devotes a substantial part to the dynamic stability issues (pneumatic hammering, sub-synchronous whirling, active dynamic compensation and control), treating them comprehensively from theoretical and experimental points of view. Key features: Systematic and thorough treatment of the topic. Summarizes relevant previous knowledge with extensive references. Includes numerical modelling and solutions useful for practical application. Thorough treatment of the gas-film dynamics problem including active control. Discusses high-speed bearings and applications. Air Bearings: Theory, Design and Applications is a useful reference for academics, researchers, instructors, and design engineers. The contents will help readers to formulate a gas-bearing problem correctly, set up the basic equations, solve them establishing the static and dynamic characteristics, utilise these to examine the scope of the design space of a given problem, and evaluate practical issues, be they in design, construction or testing.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The performance and durability of advanced, high temperature foil air bearings are evaluated under a wide range (10-50 kPa) of loads at temperatures from 25 to 650 deg C. The bearings are made from uncoated nickel based superalloy foils. The foil surface experiences sliding contact with the shaft during initial start/stop operation. To reduce friction and wear, the solid lubricant coating, PS 304, is applied to the shaft by plasma spraying. PS304 is a NiCr based Cr2O3 coating with silver and barium fluoride/calcium fluoride solid lubricant additions. The results show that the bearings provide lives well in excess of 30,000 cycles under all of the conditions tested. Several bearings exhibited lives in excess of 100,000 cycles. Wear is a linear function of the bearing load. The excellent performance measured in this study suggests that these bearings and the PS 304 coating are well suited for advanced high temperature, oil-free turbomachinery applications.

This book was released on 1962 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several types of air bearings are discussed and analyzed which can effectively simulate a frictionless environment for testing space vehicle instruments and control systems. A spherical dual-flow bearing, designed for a load of 15 pounds and employing an input pressure of about 4.5 psi, has been operated with an effective coefficient of friction of only 0.00000406. However, unless all externally applied torques as well as the center of gravity of the test fixture are exactly are the bearing's center of gravity of the test fixture are exactly at the bearing's center of rotation, it will precess. This is overcome in a cylindrical dual-flow bearing designed on the same principal. A spherical mono-flow bearing, which will bear loads of 700 and 400 pounds respectively with low input pressures, are also discussed. Plots of theoretical and actual performance are given, and fabrication techniques are described.
