HYDROSTATIC SLIDING BEARING

A hydrostatic translation slide support, comprises a housing, a slide member, a low pressure chamber and a high pressure chamber, a support ring which is elastically held against the housing and pressed with a uniform tensioning against the slide member, the support ring being movable in the housing substantial normal to the slide member, a first sealing ring fixedly held by the support ring and located between the support ring and the slide member to limit the high pressure chamber, a second double lip sealing ring arranged in the housing and surrounding the support ring so as to limit the low pressure chamber, means forming a supply passage in the housing for supplying a hydraulic medium into the high pressure chamber, and means forming a discharge passage for withdrawing the pressure medium from the low pressure chamber.
