The invention discloses an air floating
support system. A piezoelectric
ceramic ring is arranged above a support base, and a conical
stator is arranged above the piezoelectric
ceramic ring. A shaft rotor is arranged at the upper end of the conical
stator, and an orifice is formed in the middle of the conical
stator. A shell is arranged on the support base in a sleeved mode, a shaft hole and a positioning groove are formed in the shell, and a
prism sleeve affixed with rectangular piezoelectric patches is placed in the positioning groove. A fastening end cover is arranged at the top of the shell, and the shaft rotor passes through the shaft hole, the
prism sleeve and the fastening end cover. A high-pressure air
pipe passes through the base and the shell to introduce
high pressure gas respectively to the clearance of the conical stator and the
radial clearance of the
prism sleeve to form
high pressure gas films. According to the inverse piezoelectric effect, the wall of the prism sleeve and the conical stator are driven by a piezoelectric material to vibrate with
high frequency to produce
ultrasonic excitation which acts on the
high pressure gas films in the clearances, and a mixed suspension force is produced. The axial and radial controllable suspension of the rotor is realized by changing air pressure and
voltage parameters. The air floating
support system has a simple drivingstructure and no
wear and tear, is intelligently controllable, and is suitable for some high-precision and
pollution-free fields.
