Abstract
The purpose of this study is to obtain the coefficient of the orifice with 0.4mm diameter by experiment in the region of self–squeeze, to calculate the load capacitance of the aerostatic guidance, and to decide the practical range of the guidance clearance theoretically. In this study the orifice with 0.4mm diameter was used to do the experiment of the load characteristics, to obtain the maximum static rigidity and the guidance clearance of this rigidity. From the comparison of the experimentally and the calculation values, the appropriation of the conventional calculation theory is examined.
