FLAP GASODYNAMIC BEARING WITH ACTIVE CONTROL Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC F16C17/12 F16C27/02 F16C32/06 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: flap gasodynamic bearing with active control contains the housing (1) which has 16-24 inserted piezoactuators (3) located evenly along the circle of the housing (1) which support the circular corrugated element (10) which, in turn, supports the thin flap (11), enclosing the shaft (12), and also allowing to scan the data on the shaft position and bearing surface deformations and to vary rigidity of bearing surface.

EFFECT: improvement of reliability and durability of bearing assembly, increase of service life, stability of movement and suppression of beats of shafts and rotors at the expense of piezoactuator by means of which it is possible to control rigidity of bearing surface.
