Hydrostatic lubrication is a type of fluid film lubrication where the bearing surfaces are kept separated by a film of fluid. The pressure which supports the load on the bearing is supplied to the film by an external source like pump, accummulator etc. Hydrostatic lubrication considerably reduces friction and wear and is of practical importance in applications where load is very high like radars, big telescopes, turbines, machine tools etc.
