In order to combine the working performance of the motor and the specific requirements for accuracy, a model combining gas bearing with multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) motor is invoked. The bearing structure is optimized in terms of lubrication characteristics, which makes the motor life and deflection accuracy have been significantly improved. This kind of special bearing mainly provides a certain supporting force for the motor. Its stability directly affects the output performance of the motor. It should be ensured that the bearing can be used as a stable supporting structure. This paper mainly analyzes the flow field characteristics of this kind of motor, and discusses the stability of the motor by changing the gas film thickness and the motor rotor speed. Firstly, the structure and basic parameters of the air bearing motor are introduced, and the role of the bearing in the motor is described. Then, the film flow field is analyzed theoretically and simulated by finite element software. Finally, the experimental platform of gas bearing stability is built to verify the rationality of finite element analysis. The results provide references for the application of gas bearings in MDOF motors, and provide a direction for the development of precision in MDOF motors.
