... helium light source at the mounting, with a precision of ±0.075 μm/mm. The stator, made of a calcium fluoride CaF 2 disc, is fixed on an annular piston which ensures three degrees of freedom with respect to the frame. This enables a dynamic tracking of the rotor misalignment. 7...

...Noe¨l Brunetie`re; Bernard Tournerie; Jean Fre^ne In this paper, the influence of the design and operating parameters on the TEHD behavior of Mechanical Face Seals (MFS), in steady dynamic tracking mode, is analyzed for two different types of applications. First, an extensive parametric analysis...

...Masami Yamane; Kyosuke Ono, Professor; Kohei Iida This paper describes optimum air-bearing design of a tri-pad slider in terms of tracking ability to micro-waviness based on theoretical analysis of the two-degree-of-freedom slider model and the distributed and concentrated air-bearing stiffness...
