Abstract:
A hydrostatic gas bearing system where members are frictionlessly movable relative to each other and where the stabilizing and confining preload force holding said members to movement in a predetermined direction is transmitted through a gas film by floating pads that maintain virtually constant gas film thickness regardless of pressure and which by their floating action compensate for limited dimensional inaccuracies in said members.
