A hydrostatic bearing has a pad mounted between the two relatively movable members of the bearing, the pad being free to move perpendicular to the bearing face but restrained against movement in the direction of movement of the movable member of the bearing, there being a substantially continuous sealing element engaging between the inside face of the pad and one of the bearing members, and a second substantially continuous sealing element on the outside face of the pad for engagement with the other bearing member, the area enclosed by the inside sealing element being greater than that enclosed by the outside sealing element and means for admitting fluid under pressure simultaneously to both faces of the pad. |
