Abstract:
A theoretical calculation model of hydrostatic gas radial bearings under the condition of shaft neck inclination was established. Employing numerical calculation methods, it analyzed the thickness distribution and pressure distribution of the bearing gas film under the working condition of shaft neck inclination. Moreover, it researched the influence of shaft neck inclination on the static load-carrying capacity, static stiffness, static friction, and mass flow rate of hydrostatic gas radial bearings. The research findings show that shaft neck inclination can weaken the static load-carrying capacity and friction characteristics of hydrostatic gas radial bearings, yet it can enhance their static stiffness characteristics.
