<p>A tilting pad thrust bearing in which the sector-shaped bearing pads (11) are supported on individual disks. A runner (13) runs on top of the pads. The disks have a spherical element (21) projecting from their bottoms. The elements make tangential contact with a stationary support ring (18) and the pads and disks tilt about an axis on which the point of tangency lies. The tilt axis of each pad is located at 70% to 80% of the length of an arc extending from the leading edge (16) to the trailing edge (17) of the pad midway between the radially outermost and innermost edge of the pad.</p> |
