Abstract
An analysis of a hydrostatic thrust bearing with electrically conducting compressible lubricant under an axial-current-induced pinch is presented. It is shown that the load capacity of the bearing can be increased by the pinch effect and the magnitude of the pinch effect depends on the mass flow rate. It is also shown that a load proportional to the square of the axial current can be sustained even when there is no flow or external pressurization.
