A hydrodynamic thrust, journal or combined radial and thrust bearing and methods of manufacturing the same.

The bearing systems can be used as either a thrust bearing or as a journal bearing, or as both.

Each journal bearing (25, 27) consists of a shaft magnet (40, 90) enclosed by an outer journal magnet (30, 80) of the same polarity.

The invention relates to a gasket unit (1) for a trunnion rest (2) sealing an annular gap (6) between a bearing bushing (3) and a pivot (4).

The invention relates to a method for disposing of a lubricant, preferably oil, of which a controlled supply is provided to a friction bearing, especially a roll neck bearing of a chock.

These bearing surfaces also are formed at least in part with diamond enhanced material and attached to portions of the journal or cone bearing surfaces.

The floating electrode is inserted within a hydrodynamic bearing and fluidly aligned to maintain a uniform gap there between.

The tensioner (1) further comprises a journal bearing (4, 28, 31, 32) to support the pulley (5) on the guiding surface (22).

A high load capacity journal foil bearing (16) and more particularly undersprings (22) therefor.

Each latch provides at least one cylindrical surface to be carried in at least one click fit feature therefor thereby to provide a journalled bearing defining the pivot axis.

In one embodiment, the invention provides a method and apparatus to align an electrode having a hydrodynamic groove pattern thereon within a journal bearing.

The valve shaft (24) passes through a journal bearing (28) in the wall of the valve body to an actuating lever attached to the shaft on the outside of the valve body.

A hydrostatic journal bearing for a vibration test apparatus.

A hydrodynamic thrust, journal or combined radial and thrust bearing and methods of manufacturing the same.

The bearing systems can be used as either a thrust bearing or as a journal bearing, or as both.
