  • Lubrication Technology
CONT

In a fluid dynamic bearing (FDB), a thin layer of oil or other lubricant is injected between the shaft and sleeve. The structure of the bearing features a rotating shaft, which generates a hydrodynamic force, causing the shaft to rotate. The non-contact construction of this bearing makes it particularly suited for improving rotational accuracy and enhancing quietness and robustness.

OBS

Fluid Bearings are used in high speed or high precision applications where ordinary ball bearings may cause noise, vibration or acoustics.
