Purpose -The paper aims to determine whether the type selection and parameters determination of the compensation are most important for yielding the acceptable or optimized characteristics in design of hydrostatic bearings. Design/methodology/approach -This paper utilizes the equations of flow equilibrium to determine the film thickness or displacement of worktable with respect to the recess pressure. Findings -The stiffness due to compensation of constant-flow pump increases monotonically as recess pressure increases. Also, the paper considers which is larger than that due to orifice compensation and capillary compensation at the same recess pressure ratio. Originality/value -The findings show that the usage range of recess pressure and compensation parameters can be selected to correspond to the smallest gradient in variations of worktable displacement or film thickness.
Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to investigate the static stiffness of hydrostatic bearings with three constant compensations in types of constant-flow pump, capillary and orifice, and both single-action and double-action variable restrictors with cylindrical-spool, tapered-spool, and membrane types by film gradient and recess pressure. Design/methodology/approach -This paper utilizes the equations of flow equilibrium to determine the variations of film thickness or displacement of loading table with respect to the varying of recess pressure. For a hydrostatic bearing whose recess pressures are controlled by compensations, the stiffness characteristics can be presented directly by these variations. Findings -The usage range of recess pressure and compensation parameters should be selected to correspond to a variation with smallest gradient. Originality/value -This paper proposes an extensive database as a critical requirement for the selection of types and parameters of the compensation as to yield the acceptable or optimized characteristics in design of hydrostatic bearings.
