This study proposes a new type externally pressurized spherical gas bearing with slot–orifice double restricted restrictors, used in a new type gas gyroscope. Based on the spherical Reynolds equation and cylindrical Reynolds equation, small perturbation theory is employed to analyze the dynamic characteristics of the new type externally pressurized spherical gas bearing. The slot gas film and the spherical film are united by means of compatibility condition and a weak solution formula, based on Galerkin residual method, is erected. The nonlinear coupled weak solution equations are solved with FEM and the dynamic coefficients are obtained. Numerical simulation is operated and the change laws that the dynamic coefficients change with dimensionless perturbation frequency f, eccentricity ratio Eh and other structure parameters are analyzed. This paper provides a reference and preparation for analysis on the dynamic characteristics of the similar gas bearings.
