The design is considered and theoretical research of operability of the active radial gas-static bearing with restrictors of output flow rate in the form of mobile rings with an elastic supports and the dampers working by Helmholtz acoustic resonator principle is done. The mathematical model of the bearing dynamics and method of calculating its degree of stability are developed. The device is steady against vibrations; it has smaller power consumption compared to the known devices with input regulators, a zero and negative compliance of a gas-lubricated film.
