TILTING SEGMENT FOR A SHAFT BEARING DEVICE, AND SHAFT BEARING DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a tilting segment (12) for a shaft bearing device, comprising a base (15) which has a slide bearing face (16) delimited by a segment leading edge (17) extending in the axial direction, a segment trailing edge (18) likewise extending in the axial direction and side edges (19, 20) extending in the circumferential direction between the segment leading edge and the segment trailing edge, a groove (22) being made in the slide bearing face (16), which groove is closer to the segment trailing edge (18) than to the segment leading edge (17) and extends in the axial direction.
