Abstract
This paper presents static characteristic of a cicumferentially grooved hydrostatic gas journal bearing which is characterized by two circumferential grooves located near its ends wherein compressed gas is supplied through a small number of supply ports. Bearing efficiency, optimum clearance and flow rate of the novel bearing are analyzed numerically and its superiority in load capacity, stiffness and flow rate to the conventional discrete source bearing is shown at low supply pressure of less than about 105N/m2. Optimum design method is discussed. The numerical results are verified experimentally.
