Determination of the Lift-Off Speed in Foil Bearings Using Various Measurement Methods [PDF]

open access: yesMechanics and Mechanical Engineering, 2018
Abstract One of the most important parameters describing the operation of foil bearings is the speed at which—under certain load conditions—a lubricating film is created. Knowing the value of this parameter, one can determine the nature of the operation of a rotor that is supported by these bearings.

Influence of Aerodynamic Preloads and Clearance on the Dynamic Performance and Stability Characteristic of the Bump-Type Foil Air Bearing

open access: yesMachines, 2021
The dry lubricated bump-type foil air bearing enables a carrying load capacity due to a pressure build up in a convergent air film. Since the air bearing provides low power dissipation above the lift-off speed and the flexible foil provides an adaptivity
