Abstract
Design charts are presented to enable the design of aerostatic thrust bearings which use pocketed orifice restrictors. Attention has been paid to ensuring that pneumatic hammer instability is avoided by providing design information on the maximum depth and diameter of the orifice pocket. The design procedures presented are based upon analyses produced using finite difference equations to the compressible form of the Reynolds equation. The procedures presented provide the designer with a graphical technique that enables him to take into account stiffness, clearance, number of orifices and bearing dimensions when deriving a satisfactory solution to his problems.
