STEAM LUBRICATED AIR BEARINGS

Abstract

OF the two types of thrust bearing employing, respectively, slot and orifice feed, investigations at the City University have shown that if steam is admitted as a lubricant, the slot configuration does not suffer from excited vibration in the form of pneumatic or steam hammer. Typical orifice‐fed and slot‐fed air type bearings are shown in Figs. 1 and 2 respectively.
