Air Bearing Demonstrator

  • Just a quick video of a set of air bearings that we are using on some projects.
    Although they don't run forever, these things definitely seem to defy physics.
    Our first production pair will be installed next month.

    Three-point graphite air bearings are aerostatic when the shaft isn't spinning, and become aerodynamic when it spins. Sweet!

    so to 1:50 add 60
    get 2:50 (170 sec)
    minus the 12 sec start 2:38
    158 sec

    This looks a lot like the pad demonstrator on Drew Devitt’s channel:

    I use to work on Fisher's air bearing spindles. It's great because you can reach very high RPMs (90k per min), great for perfect surface finishes, but the problem is it can't handle any longitudinal force

    So when the air is off, are there some landing pads that prevent wear on the lower graphite air surfaces?

    That some pretty low friction coefficient, very nice.

      If made properly, runout can be incredibly good on an air bearings. David Preiss' video did a quick test on one of his homemade bearings and got great results (ruclips.net/video/vuzoEe_ykmM/видео.html)

      You'd need a crazy strong compressor like one driven by a truck engine or something!

    100k RMP then shut off the air... what could happen?

    • @pieterveenders9793
      @pieterveenders9793 6 месяцев назад +1

      If properly made the electric motor driving the spindle would work as an electric generator when power cuts out, and continue to power the compressor long enough for it to safely spin down.

    Each yolk is different

  • @aggabus
    @aggabus 4 года назад

    1 yoke..
    Of 3 bearings
    Make about. 60° allbeit 16.66% of coverage.
    20° & 5.5% per bearing contact /
    (" non contact")
    Surface ..which appears to be enough adequate perfect...
    Which is normal for air bear according to my d yootoo engineering analysis. But What if or why not
    Do more 360°/100%
    Coverage ? (or more )?
    (Front back)(6 air pad air bearing instead of 3)120° each.?

      This is our demo for radial bearings, we have other options for 360 degrees.

      Sorry for the slow reply.
      We had the set seen here: ruclips.net/video/kMPYjZ9kSeM/видео.html
      at over 50,000 RPM with a >20KG radial load.
      Our next go is scheduled for 60,000 RPM with a similar load... then off to 70,000 RPM
