Abstract

This study including two parts investigates the influence of design parameters of tapered-spool restrictors and hydrostatic planar bearing on static characteristics of load capacity and static stiffness. The former part provides guides for the design of single-action and double-action tapered-spool restrictors. This part provides design guides for planar hydrostatic bearing and for matching up with tapered-spool restrictor. The equations of flow continuity are utilized to determine the film thickness for open-type planar bearing and worktable displacement for closed-type planar bearing with respect to the recess pressure, respectively. The load capacity can be obtained by multiplying recess pressure by effective area of bearing pad. Furthermore, the static stiffness can be obtained by differentiating the recess pressure with respect to film thickness or worktable displacement. The finding results give that the usage range of recess pressure, and the availability ranges of design parameters of restrictor and bearing parameters. Which are found for getting the maximum stiffness.
