Lubrication Lubrication is fundamental to the operation of all engineering machines. It is required to minimise friction, wear and also provides a cooling function and a surface protection function. Gas lubricated bearings have numerous advantanges over liquid and solid lubricated bearings for a wide range of applications. A gas bearing is virtually frictionless, silent, a vibration less. Gas bearings can be used for extremely large surface velocities. A gas bearing can eliminate the risk of contaminating a process with lubricant. Air bearings are also widely used to allow frictionless movement of large heavy items over flat surfaces using air pads. |
