Discover Air Bearings and the Performance Advantages of New Way Porous Media Technology According to the American Bearing Manufacturing Association, bearings are critical components that enable machines with moving parts to operate at high speeds with greater stability. Sustaining linear or rotational motion, bearings reduce the mechanical contact between machine parts to reduce friction, wear,…
Testing Reveals High Air Bearing Air Film Stiffness and Damping
Welcome to the March 22, 2013 edition of Drew’s Views. This is the second video post filmed during independent testing in the Machine Dynamics Lab at Penn State University. This time, Theodore R.S. Deakyne performed the Air Film Dynamics testing under the guidance of Dr. Eric Marsh, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Penn State, and…
