Zusammenfassung: | A thrust bearing for use with a shaft having a collar mounted the shaft and rotatable therewith has a base ring , a series of shoes positioned on the base ring , and a compressible resilient spacing member positioned between the base ring and a housing for the thrust bearing . The spacing member supports the thrust bearing when the shaft is rotating during no-load operating conditions, as well as dampens the forces placed on the thrust bearing by the shaft when the shaft is rotating during no-load conditions. The spacing member is sufficiently stiff that it supports the thrust bearing when the shaft is rotating under no-load conditions, but is sufficiently compressible to be compressed to the extent that the gap between the base ring and the housing is eliminated due to the forces placed on the thrust bearing by the shaft bringing the base ring into contact with the housing during normal load operating conditions. |
