This paper presents a chemical etching system for groove manufacturing for the fluid and aero dynamic bearings. To manufacture the grooves to thrust and journal surface of the fluid and aero dynamic bearing, it is very important for grooves' depth to be smaller tolerance. It is very difficult for the internal surface of journal bearing to make the grooves precise. If the precision of the groove is not exact, we can not get the desirable performance for the target of the dynamic bearing. To make the groove of bearing precise, we propose the method of chemical etching system. It has known that the method of chemical etching can not make the groove on the internal surface of journal bearing excepts for on the surface of thrust bearing. However, this paper has shown the solution to make the grooves on it. We obtain the condition and the parameters of the system such as time, chemical material composition and so on. In this paper, we get the experimental results to verify the precise groove manufacturing for the fluid and aero dynamic bearing.
