Abstract

In this report, the effects of gas inertia forces in externally pressurized gas-lubricated thrust collar bearings with a slot restrictor are investigated theoretically and experimentally. From the experiment, it is concluded that the effects of the inertia forces are considerable when the slot clearance and the bearing clearance are large, and that the presented analysis yields good predictions of both the bearing stiffness and the damping coefficient.
