In order to increase the applicability of the hydrostatic bearing systems, the influence of the geometric and functional parameters on the bearing capacity, the rigidity, the flow and the moment of fluid friction, the power lost through friction and the power consumed by the pumping of the working fluid are studied.

Opposed Hydrostatic Bearings Self-Adjusted by Lubricant Flow.

December 1975

Roberto Bassani

A method for the calculation of a new set of opposed hydrostatic bearings of indefinite length is outlined and a constructional example of definite length is presented. They are characterized by the fact that due to their particular shape they allow an infinite automatic variation of the total flow in two half-flows in the two bearings, although the fluid is supplied by a single pump. Both sets ... [Show full abstract] are compared, the rigidity being equal, with the corresponding conventional sets receiving the fluid from two pumps. A fully identical behavior of the bearings of indefinite length, and a lower pumping power and greater friction power dissipated by the self-adjusting set of the bearings of definite length are found. In any case, the friction coefficient is not higher than that of rolling guides.

Calculation and Influence of Geometric and Load Parameters on Functional Characteristics of Hydrosta...

November 1993

Using the algorithm developed on the basis of the flow balancing method for calculating the main functional characteristics of a complete radial hydrostatic bearing (eccentricity, lubricant feed rate, freed-up power, pumping power, static stiffness, film thickness and operating temperature) it was determined the influence of geometric and load parameters on them, and the optimization ... [Show full abstract] possibilities. The case of radial bearings without axial discharge channels, pressed by a quasi-static force, with an unique, variable, or rotating direction, has been analyzed, accepting only the laminar flow regime in both the bearing and capillary droids used for lubricant supply.

New hydrostatic spindle unit for a heavy-duty precision NC lathe

January 1990

A description is given of a precision lathe with microprocessor control and hydrostatic spindle bearings. The proposed axial hydrostatic support, comprising a one-way hydrostatic thrust bearing and a hydraulic cylinder providing power closure and load-relief, has good load-carrying characteristics and low losses to fluid friction. In operation, especially at high speeds, the axial hydrostatic ... [Show full abstract] bearing ensures self-alignment of the entire spindle/hydrostic bearings system and helps to reduce power losses to fluid friction as a result of changes in clearance in the thrust bearing.

Determining the stiffness of the pressed assemblies

March 1994

Starting from the fundamental equation theory of elasticity (Lamè), applied in the case of an elastic semi-space in the presence of a concentrated force, it is proposed to develop it for a uniformly distributed load characteristic of a screw-flange assembly. Expressions of spatial stresses resulting from tightening and limit conditions are proposed so that it is possible to determine the rigidity ... [Show full abstract] of the flanges. The proposed mathematical model allows both the calculation of the rigidity of the flanges in any configuration and the calculation of the rigidity of the clamping screws.
