The leading edges (40, 50) of the segmented corrugated springs of each of the two bump foils (16, 24) of a hydrodynamic thrust bearing (10) an offset such that the leading edge (40) in the upper segmented corrugated springs (16) are circumferentially spaced relative to the leading edge (50) of the lower segmented corrugated springs (24) that is underlying each respective segment of the bump foils. In some embodiments, the leading edge of the bump foil is attached and the trailing edge is free to move axially and in other embodiments, the reverse occurs where the trailing edge of the bump foil is attached and the leading edge is free to move axially.

Les bords d'attaque (40, 50) des éléments segmentés ondulés élastiques de chacune des deux bosses (16, 24) d'un palier de butée hydrodynamique (10) sont décalés de sorte que le bord d'attaque (40) dans les éléments segmentés ondulés élastiques supérieurs (16) soit espacé circonférentiellement par rapport au bord d'attaque (50) des éléments segmentés ondulés élastiques inférieurs (24) qui sous-tendent chaque segment respectif des bosses. Dans certains modes de réalisation de l'invention, le bord d'attaque de la bosse est fixé et le bord arrière est libre de se mouvoir axialement. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation de l'invention, l'inverse se produit dans le cas où le bord arrière de la bosse est fixé et le bord d'attaque est libre de se mouvoir axialement.
