What is a hydrostatic bearing
Source: Wikipedia https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hydrostatic_bearing.svg
• 4 part bearing system
• Fluidic bearing which relies on an oil film
• Extremely precise
• Almost wear-free
“Hydrostatic bearings are externally pressurised fluid bearings, where the fluid is usually oil, water or air, and the pressurisation is achieved by a pump”

Why use a hydrostatic bearing
µ
3 kNm
=
• High load capacity • High Overturning Moment • Heavier/offset payloads • No need for extra guidance
• Low friction • Low wear on parts • Uniform loading
• Known & understood • Established technology • Used on V900 shaker series • Improved on V8900

End User Benefits
Hydrostatic Bearing Benefits
Large non-uniform payloads
No additional
shaker guidance
Reduced maintenance requirement
Armature life extension
Maximised shaker uptime

Implications of bearing implementation
Engineering Considerations
• Change in armature & shaker design
• Full FMEA analysis
• Tight tolerance on manufactured parts
Usage Considerations
• Chance of oil leakage
• Requirement of 3 phase supply for pump
• Additional background noise from pump
• If interlocks bypassed bearing could run dry

How VTS implemented hydrostatic bearing technology
Full design analysis within SolidWorks
Maximum static stress loading = 3kNm of applied overturning moment to the armature.

How VTS implemented hydrostatic bearing technology
V8
• Initially fitted to an LDS V8 shaker for preliminary testing
• Extensively tested statically and dynamically during subsequent V8900 development.

Central Bearing & Shaft Technology
Top Armature @ +65.8mm
• Max stress = 22.8 N/mm2 • Avg. 12-17N/mm2 in shaft • <= 5N/mm2 in armature frame
Middle Armature @mid-position
• Max stress = 23.2 N/mm2 • Avg. 12-18N/mm2 in shaft • <= 5N/mm2 in armature frame
Bottom Armature @-65.8mm
• Max stress = 27.2 N/mm2 • Avg. 12-19N/mm2 in shaft • <= 5N/mm2 in armature frame

Central Bearing & Shaft Technology
• Analysis showed that 3500psi oil pressure results in up to 70N/mm2 stress in the shaft.
This area of the shaft is lowly stressed under static overturning moment <10N/mm2.

Central Bearing & Shaft Technology
• Based on V900 series shaker and HBT slip table bearings.
• Bronze liner in aluminum housing running on an aluminum shaft.
• Hard anodised processing
• Bearing housing acts as the sealing interface
• Unique oil feed system to the bearing (there are no moving hoses!).
• The shaft acts as the centre spine
• > 10,000 hours of armature life

Do’s & Don’ts
Check armature movement
Confirm bearing not binding up
Check oil pressure
Check oil levels
Allow bearing to run dry
Overload shaker
Mix & match bearing housings & shafts (matched pairs)
