In order to determine the static and dynamic loads in rotating machinery, a specific biconical hydrostatic bearing was devised. Static and dynamic pressures are measured in eight cells allowing to obtain the axial and radial forces and momentum. This bearing was used to measure the axial and radial thrust in a centrifugal pump for different operating conditions including cavitation or entrained air...
