Engineering solution
Aerostatic bearing design from requirement to a bounded candidate.
Calculate a defined support or synthesise a feasible one before detailed CAD, CFD and manufacturing iteration.
The engineering question
Can the proposed aerostatic support meet the required load, stiffness, flow and geometry constraints at the defined operating state?
Inputs
- Bearing type or allowed architecture
- Radial and axial loads
- Available diameter and length
- Clearance or manufacturing limits
- Supply and ambient pressure
- Operating speed and required decision
Outputs
- Candidate geometry and feed state
- Load capacity and static stiffness screen
- Air-flow estimate at the defined state
- Operating-point passport and assumptions
- Recommended next engineering action
Decision boundary
The result is an early engineering candidate. Final geometry still requires detailed CAD, tolerances, supplier review and validation appropriate to the application.
Typical commercial route
A single requirement normally starts with the Feasibility Screen. Multiple architectures or deeper coupled work move into an AURA Engineering Pilot.
Bring one defined requirement.
Start with a non-confidential fit check.
