ABSTRACT:
A reciprocating machine component, such as a piston of an internal combustion engine or a compressor, is provided with bearing pads for transmitting lateral thrust to an associated guide surface, such as a cylinder or liner. The bearing pads are mounted such that they tilt during reciprocation in order to provide a wedge-shaped lubricant film between the pad and the surface. The mounting is also such as to ensure that the direction of tilt of the pads changes with the direction of reciprocation.
