Major advantages over conventional bearings
Design:

Dynamic pressure built-up centering the shaft
- lubricating oil pressure gained by the shaft rotation



2. FDB introduction
2-7 FDB Features
No metal surface contact
- lubricating oil between shaft and bearing
- no metal-to-metal contact
- lower noise
- longer operating life
Page 14
Major advantages over conventional bearings
Design:

Vacuum impregnating oil
- no air bubbles
- no oil leakage due to air pressure variation
- higher level non-operational shock resistance
