Key Takeaways:
A hydrostatic rotary table is only as good as its oil supply. Understand the pump station, multi-stage filtration, temperature control, and restrictor feedback that keep the oil film stable.
The Supporting Subsystem
A hydrostatic rotary table does not work alone—it depends on a clean, pressurized oil supply. A pump station delivers lubricating oil at 1–10 MPa through restrictors into the table's oil cavities, where it forms the load-carrying film.

Filtration and Cleanliness
Oil cleanliness must reach NAS 5 or better. A multi-stage filter (typically serviced around every 500 hours) removes particles that would otherwise wreck the 3–10 μm film and the cavity flatness of ≤0.5 μm.
Temperature and Feedback Control
Oil is held near 35±5°C (ambient 20±1°C ideal) so the film stays dimensionally stable. The restrictor—especially membrane feedback—continuously adjusts cavity pressure as load changes, keeping stiffness high and motion precise.
