Correction: Hard drive spindles typically use ball bearings. It is the read-write heads which ride on a cushion of air (ie they are aerodynamic bearings). Also, the spin stands used to inspect hard drive discs use air bearings. • Brought to you by the Machine Tech Video Blog! • In this video, Adam introduces hydrodynamic bearings. He covers: • The pros and cons of hydrodynamic bearings • The construction of a hydrodynamic bearing • A step-by-step explanation of the operation of a hydrodynamic bearing • A break-down of fluid viscosity • Some variations on the hydrodynamic bearing: hydrostatic lift, tilting pad journal and thrust bearings, gases as lubricants • Title music by Andrew Applepie - Festivities : • http://andrewapplepie.com • Special thanks to Laney College in Oakland, CA. • For more about Laney College, check out the website: http://laney.edu/machine_technology/ • AND BE SURE TO SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON!
