DESIGN HANDBOOK ON GAS BEARINGS FOR GYROSCOPES.

Abstract

This report presents the work accomplished thus far in the preparation of a design handbook on gas bearings for the spin-axis of gyroscopes. The ultimate handbook will contain design data on four different bearings: (1) the spiral-grooved thrust bearing; (2) a 'U' bearing or 'spool' bearing consisting of a plain journal for supporting radial loads flanked by two spiral-grooved thrust bearings to support double-acting thrust loads; (3) the spiral-grooved journal bearing; and (4) the spiral-grooved conical bearing.
