Increasing the load capacity of planar ferrofluid bearings by the addition of ferromagnetic materialBoots, A. S.T. (author), Krijgsman, L. E. (author), de Ruiter, B. J.M. (author), Lampaert, S.G.E. (author), Spronck, J.W. (author)Ferrofluid pocket bearings are a type of bearing that are able to carry a load using an air pocket encapsulated by a ferrofluid seal. Previously designed ferrofluid bearings show the great potential of the stick-slip-free and low viscous friction bearings, however until now the load capacity is limited. In this article a method is presented...journal article 2019
