Study on Tilt Properties of Orifice-Compensated Aerostatic Thrust Bearings

Article Preview

Abstract:

Under different throttle type, the bearing lateral force is calculated with the heeling angle changed by using the finite volume method. Also, cavity diameter and depth are selected, which can get influence on bearing lateral force in the same heeling angle. By attributing the error between experiment results and compensational ones to measurement error and instrument error itself, the results are verificated.
