Bump Foil Design For Improved Damping And Load Capacity From Compliant Foil Gas Bearings
US Patent:
5584582, Dec 17, 1996
Filed:
Dec 15, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/356604
Inventors:
William R. Brown - Slatington PA
Assignee:
Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. - Allentown PA
International Classification:
F16C 1703
US Classification:
384106
Abstract:
A bump foil for a compliant foil gas bearing having parallel rows of corrugations or bumps, a first series of bumps of equal height spaced equidistant from one another and a second series of bumps of a lesser height with each bump of the second series disposed between bumps of said first series. The bump foil can be fabricated from metals having a thickness greater than that of conventional bump foils to increase load capacity of the gas bearing without sacrificing compliance required for Coulomb damping.
Shimmed Three Lobe Compliant Foil Gas Bearing
US Patent:
5498083, Mar 12, 1996
Filed:
Dec 15, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/356426
Inventors:
William R. Brown - Slatington PA
Assignee:
Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. - Allentown PA
International Classification:
F16C 3206
US Classification:
384106
Abstract:
