Rotordynamic performance of a rotor supported on bump-type foil bearings: experiments and predictions
Gas foil bearings (GFB) appear to satisfy most requirements for oil-free turbomachinery, i.e. relatively simple in construction, ensuring low drag friction and reliable high speed operation. However, GFBs have a limited load capacity and minimal amounts of damping. A test rig for the rotordynamic …

Estudo experimental de um mancal de folha
Experimental study of an aerostatic radial foil bearing. A vertical shaft is supported axially by an air lubricated thrust bearing and radially by two foil bearings, each one made up of 3 segments of foils around the shaft, and tensioned by pulling rods. Compressed air is injected between the …
