2134778 9322573 PCTABS00027 A one piece hydrodynamic bearing which replicates the function and performance of more costly tilt pad bearings. The pads (12) are supported on a single thin web (37) for pivoting on a support structure which can include one or more beam-like members (14). The support structure preferably includes a primary support portion, a secondary support portion and a tertiary support portion. The beams (14) allow deflection of the pad (12) by either deflecting or twisting in a torsional mode. The bearing pad support structure may include portions which are fluid dampened.
