GAS BEARINGS: LUBRICATING TURBOMACHINERY WITH GAS BEARINGS

摘要

Almost all fluid film lubrication applications in turbomachinery use hydrodynamic, (in the case of oil) or aerodynamic (in the case of gas) bearing technology. This type of lubrication uses the relative shear between the bearing faces and the rotor to drag lubrication into the natural wedge-shaped gap that forms between them.
