IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO GAS BEARINGS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4143073
A simple method of reducing the porosity of porous gasbearing sleeves in order to eliminate shaft vibration owing to excessive gas turbulence is given. The method consists of coating the pcrous surface with shellac dissolved in a volatile solvent. e.g.. methylated spirit. It is pointed out that it is easier and cheaper to prcduce sleeves of coarse porosity and subsequently reduce the porosity by painting than to produce sleeves of the required porosity. (D.L.C.)
