Thrust-collar air bearing, orifice/slot — fixed reference geometry (B)

Reference-geometry calculator (Ø40mm outer diameter, 5µm film, β=0.6 — fixed) for a thrust-collar aerostatic bearing fed through a slot of nr discrete orifices, with an inner vacuum/exhaust zone and a supply choked-flow check.

The legacy "please login" demo lock froze D0/H0/B1. This port keeps the original fixed geometry and formula exactly, exposing only the slot/orifice-feed, secondary-film and pressure inputs that were already free to vary.

  • Thrust-collar aerostatic bearing fed through a slot of discrete orifices, with an inner vacuum/exhaust zone.
  • FIXED GEOMETRY: outer diameter 40 mm, film 5 µm, β=0.6 — same rationale as the other c12_4*/c12_5* fixed-geometry modules.
  • Generalizing the outer radius is a real model change and is not done here — see docs/locked-calculators-review.md.

De berekening is een letterlijke overzetting van de originele client-side JavaScript van /calculators/c12_5b.htm. Resultaten zijn geverifieerd gelijk aan het origineel via een geautomatiseerde golden-master-test. Geen enkele formule is opnieuw afgeleid of “verbeterd”.
