Abstract
A system for utilizing a pressurized fluid includes first, second, and third coaxially disposed body members, each having a cylindrical shape. The third body member is movable relative to the second body member. The second body member has walls that define a cavity between the first and second body members and a passage within the second body member that directs pressurized fluid from a cavity to the third body member. A method of utilizing a pressurized fluid includes providing a coupling and a housing having a cavity defined therebetween, supplying pressurized fluid to the cavity, and providing a first passage that extends from the cavity to a first axially-facing surface of the non-rotating component. The cross-sectional area defined perpendicular to a local flow direction is configured for choked flow within the first passage.
