Abstract

A self-aligning thrust bearing faces the problem that in flexible bearing structure to prevent scuffing, the flexibility often produces axial misalignment of relatively rotatable members. The solution is provision of liquid in a sealed chamber and radially resistant but axially resilient supports to permit rocking of the bearing member without axial misalignment. The invention might be used in slant axis rotary engines. Self-aligning thrust bearing means (23a, 24a, and 26a; 23b, 24b and 26b; or 123a, 124a and 126a; 123b, 124b and 126b) for first (10 and 11; 111) and second (12; 112) relatively rotable members each includes parts equivalent to the following: a thin bearing member (26a) between adjacent surfaces (28a and 29a) of the relatively rotatable members; a substantially uniformly axially compressible and extensible peripheral sealing member (24a) sealed to a face of the bearing member (26a) and to the surface filling the chamber (30a); and liquid filling the chamber so that axial and cocking loads of either of the relatively rotatable members (10 and 11 or 12) may rock the bearing member (26a) without effective axial displacement.
