Foil Bearing Investigation.

Abstract

Foil bearing research performed at Ampex under ONR sponsorship is summarized. Theoretical and experimental effort has been carried out in three areas: development of analytical and experimental techniques applicable to foil bearings, as well as to other fields; application of foil bearings for support of high speed rotating machinery; and application of foil bearings in magnetic recording.
