Tribological study on hydrostatic slipper bearing with annular orifice damper for water hydraulic axial piston motor

Hydrostatic slipper bearing is an effective way to maintain a fluid film between slipper pad and swash plate that slide against each other, and thereby mitigate direct surface-to-surface contact in water hydraulic axial piston motor (WHAPM). The hydrostatic slipper bearing with an annular orifice damper is proposed, and the reaction force of the bearing in WHAPM is investigated. The effects from the friction within the cylinder bore, the …
