Gas Foil Bearings

6/6/2020

 
  • A general introduction to bearings
    • A bearing permits relative motion between the contact surfaces of members, while carrying the load 
    • Classification based on load direction: radial bearing & Thrust bearing & Combined
    • Classification based on the nature of contact: 
      • Sliding contact bearing: rely on clearance with lubrication
      • Rolling contact bearing  
      • Fluid bearing
      • Magnetic bearing
      • Flexure bearing  
  • Foil Bearings / Foil-air bearing -- a type of air bearing (a really good demonstration of air bearing)
    • Really good demonstration
    • Is the advantage of adding foil to help the shaft stops more smoothly ?
