ABSTRACT:
A follower spring for a foil thrust bearing includes a plate and a plurality of spring tabs extending from the plate. The spring tabs are elongated and offset at angles between approximately 45 degrees and approximately 75 degrees. The spring tabs can be arranged in pairs, with each pair defining a preload force center. The preload force centers can be located midway between a radial width of the plate and equally spaced apart about the plate in a circumferential direction.
