ABSTRACT:
An essentially completely and automatically self-adjusting fluid bearing assembly includes at least a front and rear bearing cone mounted for rotation with a driven shaft. Associated with each cone is a shell, such that a fluid gap exists between the shell and the associated cone. One of the shells, usually the rear shell, is held in place and biased by a spring or the like to urge the shell towards the associated cone to form the proper fluid gap while the other shell is provided with a differential diameter. Due to the differential diameter, the fluid pressure operates to urge the front shell towards the front cone thus keeping the fluid gaps in the proper fluid gap dimensions. Various structures are described.
