ABSTRACT:
A thrust bearing device including a bearing oil tank containing a lubricating oil, a plurality of bearing shoes for slidably journaling a rotary member located in the bearing oil tank, the bearing shoes each being segmental in shape, and a support device for the bearing shoes. The support device for the bearing shoes is interposed between the bearing shoes and the bottom of the bearing oil tank and immersed in the oil, including pressure receiving members each having spread-apart two legs, and resilient members. The pressure receiving member are each formed on its upper surface with a portion for supporting the associated bearing shoe and on its undersurface with the spread-apart two legs, one of the shoes being constructed to receive a lower thrust load than the other leg. The resilient members are each located beneath the leg of the associated pressure receiving member that has the lower thrust load applied thereto. The thrust bearing device is advantageous in that the support means is capable of withstanding high thrust loads and has high elasticity.
