A hydrodynamic fluid bearing is disclosed having a deflectable resilient bearing element within the spacing formed between the movable and stationary portions of the bearing. Additionally, resilient bearing stiffeners are positioned immediately adjacent the bearing element for changing in a predetermined way the deflection response of the bearing element. In order to initiate bearing element deformation a groove is formed in the bearing element. Deformation of the bearing element is controlled by support elements positioned between the resilient bearing element and the stationary portion of the bearing. |
