Abstract

High speed applications are common in machine tools, rocket engines, turbo-chargers, dental applications and high power density electric blocks. One of the major problems associated with high speed machines is frequent bearing failures. This is primarily because of the large number of cyclic loading the conventional bearing has to withstand. Gas bearings on the other hand are contact less bearings where the fluid film formed bears all the load and is continuously expelled out the system. This theoretically makes them completely wear free and renders them with a life of more than 15-20 years. In this project we design, simulate, fabricate and experimentally validate a pressurized gas bearing system for high speed flywheel energy storage system.
