ABSTRACT:
Pressure sensing ports opening through the fares of tapered land thrust bearing pads are sized and located to afford a pressure proportional to the average pressure of the load along such surfaces in the radial and circumferential directions. The pressure sensing ports are preferably located 5/8 the circumferential extent of the pad from its leading edge and approximately midway between the inner and outer diameters. The circumferential extent of the slot is sized to approximate 1/12 of the arc length of the pad while its radial extent approximates 1/4 the radial distance between the inner and outer diameters.
