Transferring hydrostatic bearing technology used in the printing industry, Ibag North America has introduced the Model HF170HA-40HKV high-speed milling spindle. Developed in cooperation with the ...

The frictional properties of any plain bearing depend on the lubrication system. Either hydrodynamic or hydrostatic lubrication can provide low friction. Gas bearings have the lowest friction levels.

Wear of plain bearings is influenced by the state of lubrication and, conversely, wear characteristics influence the various lubrication states. Hydrostatic bearings do not wear when operating ...
