ABSTRACT:
A novel pad-type fluid wedge sliding surface bearing in which the individual pads have a swing-like motion to produce a lubricating wedge between the face of the pad and the moving surface. The center of swing for each pad is located so that the fluid friction moments and the pressure moments on the pads oppose each other. The moment equilibrium position of the pads will form a wedge converging in the direction of motion of the moving member. In achieving this condition, the pads may be constructed of a metal-elastomer laminate section with the laminal arcuately formed about a center located in the direction of the opposing sliding surface.
