Abstract

In the operation of hydrostatic bearings, such as are used on the azimuth axis of the Deep Space Network 64-m antennas, the use of high-viscosity fluids offers advantages in operation clearances and in power consumption. One problem in using high-viscosity oils is that of appropriate filter selection. A test program was undertaken to determine the characteristics of commercially available filter elements used with high viscosity fluids. The test data forms the basis for selecting filter elements for use with fluids in the range of 2500 Saybolt second viscosity.
