ABSTRACT:
The bearing pads of a large tilting pad thrust bearing are extended laterally to project from both radial edges, the lateral extensions having faces which are offset inwardly relative to the faces of the pad and said extensions projecting into the spaces between the pads. Each lateral extension has a radially extending main oil duct, there being a row of oil jet ducts communicating with each main duct and opening at the surface of the lateral extension in a position to direct a row of oil jets against the runner in the space between pads, oil being pumped into the main oil duct from a circular oil manifold surrounding the pads and coupled to the main oil ducts through flexible conduits which permit the pads to tilt freely without interference.
