What is Hydrostatic vs. Hydrodynamic Bearings about?
This document discusses two types of fluid bearings: hydrostatic and hydrodynamic bearings. Hydrostatic bearings rely on an external pump to pressurize the fluid between the bearing surfaces, while hydrodynamic bearings rely on the high speed of the journal to pressurize the fluid film. Hydrodynamic bearings may have high friction at low speeds or during starts and stops. Hydrodynamic lubrication requires a viscous fluid and converging surfaces to generate a full fluid film between the bearing and journal.
