A rotary machine includes a housing (112), and a rotating component (120) received therein for rotation relative to the housing (112). A shaft (122) imparts rotational movement to the rotating component (120) around a first axis from an associated motive input. A bearing assembly (206) is interposed between the rotating shaft (122) and the housing (112) and the bearing assembly (206) includes a bearing member (224) that is self -aligning. The self-aligning bearing assembly (206) includes a bearing member (224) having a recess (222) extending substantially parallel to the first axis, and a journal sleeve (220) received in the recess (222) and interposed between the shaft (122) and the bearing member (224). The journal sleeve (220) is fixed to the shaft (122) for rotation therewith and includes a flexible joint connection with the shaft (122) to permit self -alignment of the shaft (122) and bearing (224).
