Abstract
In the case of hydraulic piston motor, hydrostatic bearing is designed to be adapted the hydrostatic bearing for the relative lubrication in the structural design. It's available to make it highly efficient and that's why it's widely used. The thing which largely influence the high pressure, the high efficiency, and the life is the hydrostatic bearing between a shoe and a swash plate. In this study, with the most general "hydrostatic bearing shoe" that has one recess as the subject of this research, I designed and made the 4 kind of piston shoe that have different orifice diameter each other, and studied the features of the hydrostatic bearing by observing the change of the leakage flow rate, the torque and the volumetric efficiency through experiments on the changes of the pressure & the speed of the revolution. As a result, the bigger diameter of the orifice, the less torque. And with an increase of the orifice diameter under the high pressure, the leakage flow rate decreased remarkably. Also it was observed the leakage flow rate increased linearly according to the increase of the supply pressure.
