CA 2146001

A hydrodynamic thrust, journal or combined radial and thrust bearing and methods of manufacturing the same. The bear- ing includes a bearing pad structure (132) that may change shape and move in any direction (six degrees of freedom) to optimize formation of a converging wedge for hydrodynamic operation, equalization of load on the bearing pads in thrust bearings and to adjust for any shaft misalignment. The bearing pad may be formed so as to contact the shaft in the installed state and to deflect under fluid film pressure. The pad may have undercut grooves (132u).
