ABSTRACT:
A hydrostatic bearing is provided between two relatively movable members. Opposing sensing and bearing pads extend into either member and face the other member. These pads communicate with one another. An inlet orifice is defined between the members and extends from a fluid source to the sensing pad. An outlet orifice is defined between the members and extends from the bearing pad to the fluid return. The areas of the inlet and outlet orifices vary reciprocally in the sense that as one area increases, the other area decreases. The bearing exhibits reduced flow characteristics when one member moves axially and/or radially relative to the other member.
