Abstract
Some experimental data have been obtained relating the load-bearing capacity of air films of various thicknesses and operating at different pressures and rates of flow for 2, 4, and 6-in. spherical-type bearings. Semi-empirical equations have been developed for calculation of (a) minimum air pressure as a function of load; (b) minimum flow of air as a function of pressure; (c) bearing lift as a function of air pressure.
