Cover Story: In air compressors (e.g., for fuel cell cars), the use of foil bearings provides many advantages. They have low friction, require little installation space and, due to media lubrication, do not require oils or peripheral equipment. Their full potential is shown at speeds of 100,000 rpm and more. On the downside, the frequent start–stop cycles in such applications are critical, as they can lead to higher wear and, thus, a shorter service life. With actively controllable bearings, an attempt is made to achieve better behavior in the start-up range. The cover picture shows an enhanced test rig which was used to examine the static switching states of such a bearing. The two test bearings (for each switching state) were compared in terms of lift-off speed, frictional torque, eccentricity, and stiffness. View this paper
