Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides improvements to a fluid bearing (11, 12) for a journal (4), one being a polymer bearing pad (17) comprising an outer surface (13), at least one recess (18) for receiving lubricating fluid from a base (14) of said fluid bearing and distributing said lubricating fluid to said outer surface and a mounting means (8, 8A) for securely mounting said polymer bearing pad to said base. Other improvements include a fluid bearing (11, 12) comprising the polymer bearing pad (17), methods of making the polymer bearing pad and fluid bearing, a fluid bearing comprising a polymer bearing pad (17) having a chamfer (37) and a multidirectional fluid bearing (70).
