Theoretical and Experimental Analysis of Hydrostatic Thrust Bearings

This paper presents theoretical and experimental analysis of two types of circular hydrostatic thrust bearings, using incompressible lubricants. Design equations for load-carrying capacity, stiffness, and flow, are given for three different types of flow restriction—orifice, capillary, and constant flow. Experimental verification of the equations is shown. It is seen that each method of restriction imparts its own characteristics on the bearing performance. Constant flow, for instance, results in the stiffest bearing under certain conditions, and capillary restriction is unaffected by temperature changes.
