  • Bearing segment for a sliding shoe
    Patent number: 4466750
    Abstract: A bearing segment for a tiltable and rotatable sliding shoe comprises a base on which is supported a bearing pin having a radial ball and socket joint coupling the pin to the shoe. The ball and socket joint has an inner ring supported on the pin and an outer ring fixed to the shoe. The rings have confronting arcuate surfaces which permit limited relative spherical movement of the rings.

  • Hydrodynamic bearing
    Patent number: 4465383
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hydrodynamic bearing in which a pressure limiting valve is connected to the oil supply to a groove provided at the inlet zone of the bearing element. The oil pump thus can be of considerably smaller dimensions than heretofore, the energy consumption in operation is reduced, and the removal of heat is improved.

  • Hydrodynamic bearing
    Patent number: 4322116
    Abstract: A hydrodynamic bearing for supporting a rotary member has a bearing gap between the rotary member and the bearing and which is occupied by fluid. Hydrodynamic pressure in the gap is monitored by a sensor which is coupled to a starting aid that is responsive to variations in the hydrodynamic pressure to switch on and off a starting aid. Upon being switched on the starting aid is operable to deliver additional fluid to the bearing gap.

  • Hydrostatic bearing apparatus
    Patent number: 4320926
    Abstract: A hydrostatic bearing the bearing surface of which contains several pressure pockets. A bore arranged symmetrically to the pressure pockets connects the latter with a pressure relief chamber and with a source of hydraulic pressure medium. A bearing such as this is characterized by its simple construction and by reliable hydraulic pressure relief for each bearing shoe.

  • Hydrostatic bearing unit and a hydrostatic bearing assembly comprising several such bearing units
    Patent number: 4099802
    Abstract: This invention relates to a hydrostatic bearing unit for rotating parts, and more especially to a radial bearing unit for heavy machine parts, such as drums, comprising a fixed base and a shoe which is mounted for limited gyration relative to the base and for hydraulic adjustment with respect to the rotating parts and which comprises a bearing surface fed with hydraulic carrier medium. The invention also relates to a hydrostatic bearing assembly comprising several such bearing units.
