Abstract: In order to use a hydrostatic bearing for a connecting rod journal, it must be equipped with a special structure and oil conducting channels designed for hydrostatic bearings. To ensure the balance between oil pressure and bearing diameter, this paper provides design improvements, determines a suitable oil pressure, calculates the parameters of the hydrostatic bearing, and fixes the K-β0 value to meet the conditions of the maximum stiffness. Hydrokinetic simulation software was used to analyze the hydrostatic bearing, and to draw the contours of pressure and the velocity vector. The internal pressure and speed conditions of the hydrostatic bearing are shown in the figures.
