Optimization of Hydrostatic Bearings for Minimum Power and Low Temperature Rise

Abstract

This paper emphasises the importance of designing bearings for minimum power dissipation and temperature rise. Criteria are given which enable a designer to arrive at optimum values of any parameter for his particular bearing application.
