Abstract
The original design of the smallest two-way rolling thrust micro-bearing with sub-millimeter dimensions is presented. The bearing is self-contained and is capable of transmitting thrust load up to about 8 N in two directions, as well as radial loads up to about 0.4 N. Thanks to special design of the raceways, operation without lubrication is possible. The scope of experimental study is discussed, and preliminary experimental results are reported. Ways of further miniaturization are suggested.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering (JMM) primarily covers experimental work, however relevant modelling papers are considered where supported by experimental data.
The journal is focussed on all aspects of:
-nano- and micro- mechanical systems
-nano- and micro- electomechanical systems
-nano- and micro- electrical and mechatronic systems
-nano- and micro- engineering
-nano- and micro- scale science
Please note that we do not publish materials papers with no obvious application or link to nano- or micro-engineering.
Below are some examples of the topics that are included within the scope of the journal:
-MEMS and NEMS:
Including sensors, optical MEMS/NEMS, RF MEMS/NEMS, etc.
-Fabrication techniques and manufacturing:
Including micromachining, etching, lithography, deposition, patterning, self-assembly, 3d printing, inkjet printing.
-Packaging and Integration technologies.
-Materials, testing, and reliability.
-Micro- and nano-fluidics:
Including optofluidics, acoustofluidics, droplets, microreactors, organ-on-a-chip.
-Lab-on-a-chip and micro- and nano-total analysis systems.
-Biomedical systems and devices:
Including bio MEMS, biosensors, assays, organ-on-a-chip, drug delivery, cells, biointerfaces.
-Energy and power:
