Abstract
Master and slave systems utilize two types of hydrostatic bearing in order to provide high load capacity in conjunction with non-redundant location by rigid-film hydrostatic bearings. Master bearings are controlled both by applied thrust and by their clearance, and they also control the thrust in the slave bearings which act independently of their own clearances. A journal bearing is used to illustrate analysis of bearing systems, redundant locations, and master and slave systems. A general analysis of master and slave systems is given and a design procedure, advantages, fields of application, and design calculations for individual bearings are outlined in the text and appendixes.
