- In micro-machining the cutting tool spindle rotates with ultra-high speed of up to 500,000 rpm. True running of the spindle is of paramount requirement. Traditional bearings are not suitable for micro-machining. An answer to this challenge is an acoustic journal bearing presented in this paper. A number of original configurations of the acoustic bearing were experimentally tested. It was found that the geometry of the bearing and its flexibility play an important role in bearing’s performance. The paper has been cited by researchers in China (Hunan University and Harbin Institute of Technology) and is a result of international collaboration.
