In a journal bearing for large cylindrical journals, the load is distributed equally over two pairs of bearing shoes, the shoes of each pair being mounted by spherical pivots on a respective rocker member. Each of the rocker members is pivoted about an axis extending parallel to the bearing axis, the pivotal axes being symmetrically disposed on opposite sides of a vertical plane intersecting the journal axis. Thus the load is distributed in such a way as to minimize bending stresses in the bearing support structure. Means are provided to permit removal of a bearing shoe without dismantling of the bearing assembly. |
