ABSTRACT:
A rotary bearing system that supports a shaft for rotating machinery in a housing comprises: at least one stationary rotary bearing mounted in the housing for supporting a respective journal of the shaft in a desired axial and radial alignment; at least one slidable rotary bearing, with an outer surface mounted within a respective inner support surface of the housing to form a respective linear bearing such that each slidable bearing may slide axially along the inner support surface of the housing, for supporting another respective journal of the shaft with the desired radial alignment; and at least one layer of a crystalline material that exhibits a high degree of basal cleavage bonded to at least one of the linear bearing surfaces; wherein each layer of crystalline material allows each slidable rotary bearing to slide axially along each respective linear bearing to compensate for differences in the coefficient of expansion of the housing and the shaft so as to prevent the bearing system from binding due to extreme environmental conditions.
