A GAS BEARING SYSTEM

A gas bearing system comprising two opposing and substantially parallel bearing surfaces ( 2,4 ) and at least one gas duct ( 6 ) for supplying gas to the bearing gap ( 5 ) between said bearing surfaces ( 2,4 ). A cavity ( 10,14,15,18,19 ) having a content between 0.001 cm3 and 0.2 cm3 is present, wh...

More Information
Summary:A gas bearing system comprising two opposing and substantially parallel bearing surfaces ( 2,4 ) and at least one gas duct ( 6 ) for supplying gas to the bearing gap ( 5 ) between said bearing surfaces ( 2,4 ). A cavity ( 10,14,15,18,19 ) having a content between 0.001 cm3 and 0.2 cm3 is present, which cavity is connected to said bearing gap ( 5 ) through an orifice ( 7,11,16,17,20,21 ). The bearing surfaces ( 2,4 ) may comprise a recessed area ( 13 ) in which the distance between said two bearing surfaces ( 2,4 ) is larger than the distance between said two bearing surfaces ( 2,4 ) in the portion of said bearing gap ( 5 ) surrounding said recessed area ( 13 ).
