Abstract

Results of full-scale maximum load capacity tests on large, 3600-rpm, pivoted-shoe and tapered-land thrust bearings are reported. The results show 700 psi capacity for the pivoted-shoe bearing and 1085 psi for the tapered-land type. Additional evidence of thermal distortion and its effect on thrust-bearing capacity are discussed. A brief description of a new thrust-bearing test installation also is included.
