| 摘要 |
A bearing member, for use in an externally pressurized fluid bearing capable of operation without design change on gases, vapors and liquids, of that kind in which a body-of-rotation bearing gap is defined between a bearing surface of a first relatively rotatable bearing member and an opposed bearing surface of a second relatively rotatable bearing member, has first and second elements each with the bearing surface thereon, said elements each including a respective one of a pair of opposed contact faces. Spacer means, e.g., a shim, having opposed major faces is disposed between the elements such that each of its major faces abuts in fluid-tight sealing engagement with the contact face of a respective one of the elements, the contact faces and the spacer means defining at least one fluid feed passage opening at one end adjacent to the bearing surface of the bearing member.
