The development of a porous ceramic water hydrostatic bearing for ultra high precision applications

The principal objective of this research was to produce a series of extremely stiff and thermally stable porous ceramic bearings, and to expand the performance envelope of fluid film technology beyond that currently achievable with conventional oil hydrostatic bearings. The driving force for these d...
