摘要： A gas bearing assembly includes a snap joint for attaching an externally pressurized porous gas bearing to a bearing cartridge. The gas bearing assembly has an adjustment screw which supplies a gas to an end of the adjustment screw via a through bore. The externally pressurized porous gas bearing has a housing portion with a washer and a snap ring. The gas bearing assembly additionally includes an air transfer tube positioned in the end of the adjustment screw and the housing portion. The washer and the snap ring retain the housing portion on the end of the adjustment screw to removably retain the bearing on the bearing cartridge.
