The main aim of this paper is to study about design parameters for hydrostatic guideways pads. In this pad there is working area which is called pockets. This pocket performs the bearing function. For this pressurised fluid is supplied to the entire pocket and spreads equally in gap between hydrostatic guideways and sliding ram and cross slide. The guideways is one of the important elements of machine tool. The main function of guideways is to make sure that the cutting tool or machine tool operative elements moves along pre-determined path. Hydrostatic guide ways are the one type of guide ways which comes under the fully lubricated guide ways systems. The main functions of hydrostatic guideways are to reduce were and tear of two mating parts and chatter in tooling and axis movement. This system required more maintenance because when oil goes out from HS guide way’s pocket it will flow open in machine area, so there is change of mixing of dust and other parts and by this life of hydrostatic guideways reduce. Aim of paper is to study for design of hydrostatic guideways with having low maintenance and long cycle time.

Hydrostatics, guideways, pad, pad force, loadability or load capacity, stiffness, friction, heating, oil demand, hydraulic pump and PM flow controllers.
