Thrust hydrostatic bearing

Thrust hydrostatic bearing is a bearing device that relies on an external fluid supply system to form fluid pressure. It separates the bearing surface from the load contact area through a fluid film to achieve low friction, high load, and high precision operation.

Application scenarios
Machining equipment: CNC machine tools, grinders, lathe spindles.

Energy equipment: turbines, water turbines, wind turbines.

Precision instruments: astronomical telescopes, high-precision measuring equipment.

Industrial machinery: large water pumps, compressor thrust bearings.

Advantages and characteristics
Low friction: Liquid film isolation, significantly reducing wear.

High load: can withstand heavy loads and run smoothly.

High precision: uniform liquid film, small operating error.

Long life: non-contact design, reduced loss.

Good heat dissipation: fluid circulation takes away heat and the temperature is stable.

Thrust hydrostatic bearing overview

Thrust hydrostatic bearings use an external pressure supply system (usually hydraulic oil or water-based medium) to deliver high-pressure fluid to form a stable oil film between friction pairs to achieve effective load transfer. This structure is designed for high-precision, heavy-load and low-friction working conditions.

Key Parameter Explanations
Load Capacity: Maximum axial load (static/dynamic) the bearing can   support.

Speed Range: Recommended operating RPM; excessive speed may cause film   rupture.

Fluid Film Thickness: Lubricant layer thickness affecting precision and   stability.

Lubricant Requirement: Common options include hydraulic oil, water-based   fluids, or specialty lubricants (filtration required).

Temperature Range: Ambient limits; high-temperature applications may need   cooling systems.

Selection Guidelines
High-Precision Applications (e.g., optical instruments): Choose models with   thin film thickness (5–20 μm) and low vibration (e.g., NSK THP series).

Heavy Load & Low Speed (e.g., marine bearings): Prioritize high load   capacity (>1000 kN) and low-speed models (e.g., THK HPSF-200).

High-Temperature Environments (e.g., turbines): Opt for high-temperature   lubricants (e.g., Schaeffler HYDRA series).

For detailed datasheets or custom specifications, please provide specific   requirements (load, speed, lubricant, etc.).

Excellent load-bearing characteristics
The fluid lubrication mechanism avoids direct metal contact, and has both low friction coefficient and high load capacity.

Extremely long service life
The non-contact design greatly reduces mechanical wear and extends the service life.

Excellent thermal stability
The circulating fluid can take away heat in time to maintain the temperature balance of the system.

Wide environmental adaptability
The moisture-resistant and high-pressure characteristics enable it to maintain stable performance under harsh working conditions.

FAQ

What is the core difference between static pressure bearings and dynamic pressure bearings?

Static pressure type: Depends on the external pressure supply system, and the speed independence makes it particularly suitable for low-speed and heavy-load scenarios.

Dynamic pressure type: It needs to rely on the rotation of the shaft system to establish oil film pressure, which is more suitable for high-speed working conditions.

Media selection criteria?
It is recommended to use pure fluids with stable viscosity (such as special hydraulic oil or deionized water), and a filtering device must be equipped to ensure the cleanliness of the media.

Daily maintenance points?

Regularly monitor the working status of the pressure supply system

Replace failed filter elements and deteriorated media in time

Adaptability to high temperature environments?
By selecting high temperature resistant medium and integrating cooling unit, the requirements of high temperature working conditions can be met.

Economic analysis?
Although the initial investment is high, the comprehensive economic benefits are significant due to the ultra-long service life and extremely low maintenance cost.
