Abstract:
The load capacity and damping level of a gas journal bearing are presented. Experimental data indicate that the bearing is capable of supporting radial loads in excess of 300 lb and that the damping parameter has some inverse relationship to frequency which is determined by the radial load. It is shown that the damped motion of the gas bearing can be approximated adequately with the viscous-damping equation.
