ABSTRACT:
The present invention pertains to a thrust bearing system including a thrust bearing structure having at least one pair of opposed bearing faces defining a bearing space therebetween, and a sub-system for delivering lubricant to the bearing space. A load sensor is provided in association with the bearing structure for determining the loads on the bearing faces. A thrust compensation sub-system is operably associated with the load sensor. This thrust compensation sub-system is operative, upon sensing by the load sensor of a thrust load on the bearing faces in excess of a predetermined limit, to increase the pressure of lubricant being delivered to the bearing space.
