Hydrostatic, Aerostatic and Hybrid Bearing Design

Hydrostatic, hybrid and aerostatic bearings are often ideal for use in special-purpose machines, with applications ranging from small high-speed drills, high-precision machine tools and hydrostatic pumps through to power generators and large astronomical telescopes. However, specific knowledge, data and expertise are needed to effectively incorporate these bearings into complex mechanical designs.

Compiled for ease of use in practical design scenarios, Hydrostatic, Aerostatic and Hybrid Bearing Design provides engineers, tribologists and students with the basic principles, design procedures and design data needed to create a bearing solution to suit your specifications and requirements.

In this valuable design companion, author and expert W. Brian Rowe shares a lifetime's research and consultancy experience, offering a unique range and depth of information on these specific components. Aimed at both experienced designers and those new to bearing design, Hydrostatic, Aerostatic and Hybrid Bearing Design provides the theory and protocols for solving your machine and bearing design problems.

• Structured, easy to follow design procedures put theory into practice and provide step-by-step blueprints for solving your own design problems.


• Covers a wide selection of bearing shapes, offering a range and depth of information on hydrostatic, hybrid and aerostatic bearings not found elsewhere.


• Includes critical data on optimum performance, with design specifics from load and film stiffness data to pressure ratio considerations that are essential to make your design a success.
