Journal ArticleDOI
Discharge coefficients of orifice-type restrictor for aerostatic bearings
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental study conducted in order to determine the supply hole discharge coefficients of externally pressurized gas bearings was conducted, where air consumption and pressure distributions were measured as a function of supply pressure and air gap height for several different orifice and pocket sizes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental and numerical study of friction in an elastomeric seal for pneumatic cylinders
TL;DR: In this article, the behavior of an elastomeric seal for a pneumatic cylinder piston is analyzed using a finite element model, and the simulation results obtained from experimental tests and numerical simulation are compared to determine the friction force between seal and cylinder bore.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison between grooved and plane aerostatic thrust bearings: static performance
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of a circumferential groove machined on the pad surface on pressure distribution, air flow consumption and stiffness was analyzed and compared with two geometries: one with three supply orifices and the other with a circular groove as well.
Journal ArticleDOI
An experimental study of high-speed rotor supported by air bearings : test RIG and first experimental results
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a test rig and first experimental data regarding the mechanical and thermal behavior of a 7 kg rotor, 460 mm long and with a diameter of 50 mm, supported by externally-pressurized air-lubricated bearings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical modelling and experimental validation of a McKibben pneumatic muscle actuator
TL;DR: The McKibben muscle as mentioned in this paper is made of an inner hyper-elastic tube, surrounded by a braided shell made of inextensible threads; both ends provide elasticity.
