A thrust bearing assembly including a tubular mount conformed to receive an axially loaded shaft, the shaft being formed as a cylindrical shank terminating in a circular cap receivable in the interior of the mount. A selected number of rings is then stacked onto the shank to transfer lateral loads to the mount with a complementary number of discs being inserted below the cap for taking out axial loads. Each of the discs, furthermore, include oppositely arced grooves on the faces thereof for dynamic pumping of lubricating oil conveyed through the shaft.
