SUPPORT EN TRIANGLE HYDRODYNAMIQUE ELASTIQUE

摘要

A hydrodynamic bearing for spindles and the like comprising a cylindrical shell surrounding the spindle. The shell is supported by three supports one of which is movable and is urged against the shell to deform it into triangular shape. The shell is housed in a sealed reservoir holding oil which provides a pressurized film between spindle and shaft tending to make the shell circular on rotation of the spindle.
