Abstract
An optimization method to reach the best steady state performance of a double-recess circular thrust bearing with variable area orifices in its compensation circuit is discussed. Guidelines for the range for each design variable are established. Pocket size should be maximized for maximum bearing load carrying capacity, but minimized for maximum static film stiffness. Annular groove width recommendations are recess-pressure dependent. Variable area orifices in the supply circuit for bearings having either single or double recess can give improved static performance. A discussion of the practical applications of the supporting system proposed is included.
