Gas pressure bearing element

A gas pressure bearing element, comprising:

• a housing including a housing element with recesses configured in one of plural surfaces of the housing element,
• wherein the housing element is closed by a cover at an open side of the housing element,
• wherein the recesses are defined by intermediary walls or other protrusions and define first intermediary spaces between the intermediary walls or the other protrusions,
• wherein the cover is at least formed in sections by an open pore reinforcement mat provided with a cured encasement compound,
• wherein the open pore reinforcement mat is fixated relative to the intermediary walls and relative to the other protrusions by an adhesive made from a synthetic resin provided between the housing element and a lower side of the reinforcement mat,
• wherein the reinforcement mat is drenched with the cured encasement compound that forms a layer of the cured encasement compound on an upper side of the reinforcement mat,
• wherein the encasement compound penetrates the reinforcement mat but does not penetrate the intermediary spaces of the housing element,
• wherein the encasement compound is made from the synthetic resin,
• wherein the cured encasement compound on the upper side of the reinforcement mat has a flat surface that is machined and forms a bearing surface for the gas pressure bearing element,
• wherein the bearing surface includes a plurality of gas outlet nozzles which are formed by micro holes penetrating through the cover, and
• wherein the micro holes are provided at locations under which the first intermediary spaces are arranged below the cover, which first intermediary spaces form channels for a pressurized gas supply for the gas outlet nozzles.
