ABSTRACT:
A thrust plate with grooved surfaces within a hydrodynamic bearing establishes pressure gradients which cause the lubricating fluid for the bearing to reliably remain within the region of the hydrodynamic bearing, with the pressure gradient imposed on the fluid causing the fluid to flow toward the center of the bearing rather than to be caused to be forced outward toward the far end of the bearing which could potentially result in a leakage of the fluid.
