ABSTRACT:
A bearing shoe for use in segmental bearings that rotatably support a member by means of a plurality of such shoes. Each of the shoes presents a bearing surface on one side for engagement with the rotating surface of the rotary member. The opposite side of the shoe is provided with a pivot for engagement with a complementary surface in the housing of the segmental bearing so that the shoe is able to pivot for adjusting its bearing surface into alignment with the rotating surface of the rotary member. The present invention provides for fabricating the pivot separately from the body of the shoe and fastened thereto. As a result, the spacing of the pivot from the bearing surface of the shoe can be adjusted to vary the characteristics of the segmental bearing. Moreover, the pivot itself is arced along its length to further increase the pivotal capabilities of the shoe for more accurate alignment with the rotating surface of the rotary member.
