More Information
Summary:A gas bearing system comprising two opposing substantially parallel bearing surfaces ( 2, 3 ) and at least one gas duct ( 6 ) for supplying gas through an orifice ( 7 ) to the bearing gap ( 5 ) between the bearing surfaces ( 2, 3 ). At least one of the bearing surfaces ( 2, 3 ) is provided with at least one cavity ( 8, 9 ) extending over 0.3 mm2 to 3 mm2 of the at least one bearing surface ( 2, 3 ). The content of the cavity ( 8, 9 ) may be between 0.3 mm3 and 4 mm3. The gas duct ( 6 ) may supply gas to the cavity ( 8 ) through an orifice ( 7 ) in the wall of the cavity ( 8 ).
