Abstract

1393883 Bearings GLACIER METAL CO Ltd 17 May 1972 [18 Feb 1971] 4901/71 Heading F2A A bearing assembly comprises a shaft 1 located in a housing 2, floating pads 3 being located between the shaft and housing, each pad having a fluid passage 6 connecting its bearing surfaces 4, 5 adjacent the shaft and housing. Each bearing surface is curved so that the bearing clearance decreases towards the centre of the pads. The bearing operates hydrodynamically, but in the event of the pads becoming stuck against either the shaft or housing, fluid is led under pressure via the passage in the pads to the surface against which the pad is stuck to form a hydrostatic bearing. In an alternative arrangement (Figs. 2, 6, not shown) pads may be provided between a housing and a flange of the shaft so as to form a thrust bearing, or the pads may be arranged to form both a journal and thrust bearing (Fig. 7, not shown). The arrangement may be such as to allow the shaft to adjust to take up correct alignment (Figs. 8 to 11, not shown). The pads may be connected to each other by resilient means (Figs. 12 to 17, not shown) which allow radial movement between the pads but which limit movement oblique to the axis of rotation.
