Abstract

In this paper, the dynamic models of aerostatic thrust bearings without damping chamber and with damping chamber are established by adopting the lumped parameter method. The numerical computational results indicate that the instability of aerostatic thrust bearing is mainly caused by the compressibility of gas and the presence of gas chamber, in which gas can be stored. The damping chamber, which is similar to the damping chamber inside the pneumatic vibration isolator, can increase the damping of the gas-mass system in the film direction, thereby increase the bearing stability. The gas chamber and the damping chamber play opposite effects on the stability of aerostatic thrust bearings.
