The Experimental Study on the Load Capacity of the new air static pressure Thrust Bearing

The new air static pressure Thrust Bearing which has fixed-section pressure-equalizing groove and variable-section pressure-equalizing groove made by elastic sheet has a advantage of Stiffness.The test bed to measure performance of aerostatict hrust bearing has functions of testing bearing gap,pressure distribution,load capacity and gas film thickness.We make use of the new test bed to research and analysis the load capacity of the new air static pressure thrust bearing.As result of the experiment,the design of the new air static pressure thrust bearing make the load capacity of the bearing improveing.
