静圧気体スラスト軸受の負圧を利用した非接触懸垂走行体

抄録

The complicated phenomena such as pressure depressions, shock waves and the negative pressure, are detected in the air flow with a large bearing clearance or high supply pressure in an externally pressurized gas-lubricated circular thrust bearing. The pressure depression, which decreases the bearing load carrying capacity, is an undesirable phenomenon occurring in this gas bearing. The non-contacting suspension support travelling body using negative pressure of the externally pressurized thrust gas bearing is proposed in this paper. The non-contacting wall surface travel body has been composed of an externally pressurized gas-lubricated thrust bearing and the jet mechanism. The travel body which can run wall surface (ceiling and vertical wall) in the non-contacting condition has been done.
