Michell bearing
Calculation of load, friction and eccentricity of the pivot point
Lenght at right angle of motion	L/B	1/2 3/4 1.0 1.5 2 infinite
Length in direction of motion	B	mm
Sliding velocity	V	m/s
Lubricant viscosity	η	Pa·s
Mimimum film thickness	h0	µm
Dimensionless friction number	Ff*
Dimensionless film thickness	h0*
Dimensionless eccentricity pivot point	ε=e/B
Coefficient of friction	µ=Ff/F
Load capability single plane slider (1)	F	kN
(1) Compromise between minimal friction and maximal film thickness.
