Abstract
A torque converter and an electronic driver circuit are described that will generate a compensating applied torque that is equal and opposit e to the frictional torque of a bearing over a range of angular veloci ties. The compensated bearing is effectively frictionless. The frictio nal torque is assumed to have a constant component and one that is pro portional to the angular velocity.
