Introduction and Parametric Analysis of Air Bearings
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Bearing technology represents one of the age old challenges for mechanical engineers. Plain bearings and rolling bearings have been pushed to their limits in applications like electric motors and high resolution scanning respectively. Hence air bearings represent the next logical step in bearing design. Unlike contact bearings, air bearings utilize a thin film of pressurized air to provide ‘zero friction’ load bearing interface between surfaces. Air bearings have many technical advantages like high precision, high stiffness, no lubrication and negligible wear and tear. This seminar focuses on parametric analysis of these air bearings, their types, properties, performance parameters. From the previously obtained results and trends it is observed that load carrying capacity increases with increase in orifice diameter i.e. higher mass flow rate and also it increases with increase in supply pressure. This paper deals with giving an introduction of the air bearings to the world, telling their advantages and encouraging their use.
