APPLICATION OF THE LAMINAR-FLOW DISTRIBUTORS WITH PRERESISTOR FOR THE HYDROSTATIC BEARING

Original scientific paper The new type of the laminar flow distributor is proposed for stabilization of oil films in bearings with hydrostatic lubrication. Designs of the two variants of this simple distributor are presented. Theoretical analysis of balance condition and load capacity with the same bearings with static and dynamic resistors and real volume flow distributor shows admirable benefit of the proposed realization. The advantage of this design and the applicability to journal bearings are explained.
