In Reply to: While you work out how to add an air bearing... posted by PranaBindu on December 31, 2002 at 10:25:14:
Hi pranabindu,Sand wouldn't approximate the effect of a mechanical low-pass filter in that it won't (at any practical depth) isolate from the very frequencies I'm concerned with.
You are correct that I don't like multiple air bearings as a means of compensating for asymmetrical weight distribution in a component. When used for balancing purposes, the air bearing must have added inflation, raising its resonant frequency and diminishing its effectiveness as an isolator. I much prefer using a single air bearing and using a counterweight on the lightest side of the component, as a means of achieving balance. Also, if a larger diameter circle is described by the air bearing, balance becomes much less of an issue as the component's weight can be more easily centered atop the bearing.
Roller bearings and air bearings work in different planes of motion. The combination of the two exceeds the performance of either one by itself.
Happy Listening!
