Aerostatic bearing design
Calculate a defined journal, thrust or conical support—or synthesise a candidate from required load, stiffness, flow and envelope.
Open solution →Problem-led engineering routes
Choose the solution page that matches the machine decision.
Each solution starts with a real engineering question, lists the required inputs, shows the output package and points to the smallest appropriate commercial engagement.
Conical air-bearing design
Resolve coupled radial and axial support in one conical architecture, including adjustable-clearance concepts.
Open solution →Air-bearing spindle design
Connect support selection to spindle layout, shaft, tool, loads, operating speed and the next detailed design stage.
Open solution →Gas-bearing rotor dynamics
Carry the defined support state into critical-speed, Campbell, response and stability screening.
Open solution →Feasibility before CAD and CFD
Improve the first geometry and define what detailed simulation or testing must prove before expensive iteration begins.
Open solution →Start with one requirement
Send machine type, RPM, loads, envelope, gas supply and the decision that must be made.

Match the page to the failure mode or decision—not to the AURA brand name.
| Situation | Solution | Commercial entry |
|---|---|---|
| No defensible support geometry exists yet | Aerostatic or conical bearing design | Feasibility Screen |
| Support choice must fit the full spindle architecture | Air-bearing spindle design | Feasibility Screen or Pilot |
| Bearing coefficients exist but machine consequence is unknown | Gas-bearing rotor dynamics | Feasibility Screen or Evidence Review |
| CAD/CFD is about to begin with a weak first candidate | Feasibility before CAD and CFD | Feasibility Screen |
