Design of Low-Speed Spindle Running on Air Bearings Used on Rotary Viscometer

Article Preview

Abstract:

A low-speed spindle running on air bearings is presented, it is used on rotary viscometer based on velocity attenuation of rotating cylinder. Principle of spindle is introduced, it is composed of a low speed motor and an air bearing. The low speed motor is a coupling of two motors. Design of the spindle shows the structure of it. Materials of the spindle are selected. The spindle is machined and operation process of it shows it is suitable for driving part of rotary viscometer based on velocity attenuation of rotating cylinder.
