This project investigates the influence of tapered-spool type restrictors which determines the damping characteristics of hydrostatic bearings,using numerical analysis methods and experimental verification to study the influence of worktable bearing geometry , flexibility, restriction parameter, design parameter of pressure compensations, and control, parameters such as viscosity and flow rate on dynamic stiffness and damping ratio will be obtained. The method in this study is to establish the oil film damping ratio scale by the harmonic excitation vibration theory, which is used for dynamic design analysis of the bearing with worktable. measuring The analysis results provide the damping characteristics of worktable supported by hydrostatic bearing of tapered-tpool restrictors. Compare with the damping characteristics of membrane restrictors, capillary restrictors and constant flow. The analysis results provide an improvement scheme for increasing the dynamic stiffness and damping of hydrostatic bearing.
