Abstract
A gas-static bearing including a bearing shell formed of porous material compacted at bearing surfaces thereof for supporting a shaft, the bearing surfaces being distributed over a first group of surfaces consisting of at least two cylindrical jacket surfaces disposed concentrically to one another and about a longitudinal axis of the bearing shells and a second group of surfaces consisting of a plurality of circular surfaces disposed in succession along the axis.
Claims9
A gas-static bearing comprising a bearing shell formed of porous material compacted at bearing surfaces thereof for supporting a shaft, said bearing surfaces being distributed over a first group of surfaces consisting of at least two cylindrical jacket surfaces disposed concentrically to one another and about a longitudinal axis of said bearing shells and overlapping one another in the direction of said longitudinal axis, and a second group of surfaces consisting of a plurality of circular surfaces disposed in succession along said axis and overlapping one another in a direction transverse to said axis.
A gas-static bearing comprising a bearing shell formed of porous material compacted at bearing surfaces thereof for supporting a shaft, said bearing surfaces being distributed over a first group of surfaces consisting of at least two cylindrical jacket surfaces disposed concentrically to one another and about a longitudinal axis of said bearing shells and a second group of surfaces consisting of a plurality of circular surfaces disposed in succession along said axis, a hollow low-cylindrical part formed with a base at one end thereof disposed, at least when in use, on a cylindrical part of the shaft, said bearing shell formed of porous material including a hollow-cylindrical part formed with a flange at one end thereof and filling an intermediate space between the cylindrical part of the shaft and the first-mentioned hollow-cylindrical part, said hollow-cylindrical part of said bearing shell being formed with approximately axially parallel bores for supplying feed gas therethrough which extend into said hollow-cylindrical part of said bearing shell located between the cylindrical part of the shaft and the first-mentioned hollow-cylindrical part.
