Abstract
In numerous machines, axial load is carried by tilting pad thrust bearings known since the beginning of 20th century. These bearings are commonly bath lubricated, which is simple, does not require any additional pumps, and, due to this, such systems are highly reliable. In a contemporary technology, however, minimization of friction losses became an important goal of machinery improvement. Calculations based on elementary rules of fluid dynamics show that shearing losses in a specially designed hydrostatic bearing can be considerably smaller than the losses in a tilting pad hydrodynamic bearing. The aim of the research described in this paper was to check if the preliminary results can also be confirmed with the use of more advanced CFD calculations.
