ABSTRACT:
A bearing assembly comprises a piston mounted within and capable of reciprocating movement with respect of a fixed bearing shell. The bearing shell is provided with openings for the supply of a bearing medium, such as compressed air, into a clearance between the piston and the bearing shell. The bearing shell is resilient so that as the diameter of the piston increases due to thermal expansion, the diameter of the bearing shell changes to automatically maintain the clearance therebetween.
