Description:

Hydrostatic, hybrid and aerostatic bearings are often ideal for use in special-purpose machines, with applications ranging from small high-speed drills, high-precision machine tools and hydrostatic pumps through to power generators and large astronomical telescopes. However, specific knowledge, data and expertise are needed to effectively incorporate these bearings into complex mechanical designs.Compiled for ease of use in practical design scenarios, Hydrostatic, Hybrid and Aerostatic Bearing Design provides engineers, tribologists and students with the basic principles, design procedures and design data needed to create a bearing solution to suit your specifications and requirements.In…
