Introduction:
A Hydrostatic slide is non-contact in that the slide is supported by a film of high pressure oil, in the order of 10 Um. It functions by producing a continuous flow of high pressure oil through and out of the bearing. The flow rate being controlled by restrictors. The restrictors allow the slideway to cope with varying loads and maintain a near constant film thickness. Throughout the bearing surface, small pockets or pads are machined to create areas of high pressure fed by these restrictors and from which the oil flows ,to the rest of the bearing surfaces before exiting the bearing. The oil is then collected, filtered, repressurized, and recirculated. [Handbook, pg. 294]

Hi, Welcome to my Web page.
I am Anant, & I am currently enrolled as a PhD student in the Walker Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. Previously I was the HoD of the R&D department at a grinding machine tool manufacturing company, Micromatic Grinding Technologies Ltd. (MGT), located in Bangalore, India. I graduated with a dual degree - BTech and MTech in Engineering Design from IIT-Madras in 2014.
I am at the early stages of school and my research interests include Precision Machine Design, Modelling, analysis and control of manufacturing processes and design and control of precision machine elements. I welcome you to explore my website and projects. Please feel free to contact me!
