HYDROSTATIC SUPPORT Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC F16C32/06 B23Q1/38 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: hydrostatic support consists of stationary body (1) with bearing pockets (2) at opposed working surfaces and feed channel (3), moving guide (4) with opposed working surfaces connected with the body working surfaces, and floating element (5) with throttling channels (6) connected with control pockets (7) at its ends. Floating element (5) features cylindrical shape with circular ledge (8) at its top part and is arranged with minimum clearance in the body (1) cylindrical bore connecting the opposed pockets (2). Body (1) has recess (10) to surround circular ledge (8) without forming of throttling orifices. End surfaces of floating element (5) make said throttling orifices (9) with working surfaces of guide (4).

EFFECT: higher recommended load bearing capacity, absolutely ruled out contact friction, ease of assembly.
