ABSTRACT:
A self-compensating rotary hydrostatic bearing and method in which preferably circular annular pressurized-fluid-receiving grooves provided in the opposed housing bearing surfaces regulate the fluid fed to longitudinal recess pockets formed in the opposing bearing surfaces, at an angle to avoid the occurrence of turbulence, to provide a thin film or layer of pressurized fluid in the gaps between a shaft and the opposing bearing surfaces; the regulation establishing differential pressures in the opposing bearing surface pockets to compensate for loads applied to opposite sides of the bearing.
