Abstract

A hydrostatic bearing the bearing surface of which contains several pressure pockets. A bore arranged symmetrically to the pressure pockets connects the latter with a pressure relief chamber and with a source of hydraulic pressure medium. A bearing such as this is characterized by its simple construction and by reliable hydraulic pressure relief for each bearing shoe.
