- the top foil 10 is formed by being arranged.
- the top foil piece 11 is formed slightly smaller than the support region 31 as shown in FIG. 2A and slightly larger than the back foil piece 21. Accordingly, the plurality of top foil pieces 11 are arranged without interfering with each other. Moreover, the top foil piece 11 is arrange
- the present invention is not limited to this, and the back foil piece 21 may be formed in the same size as the top foil piece 11 or may be formed larger than the top foil piece 11.
- the top foil piece 11 is directly fixed to the base plate 30 by spot welding at an end edge portion 11a (leading edge) on the side opposite to the rotation direction of the thrust collar 4. Thereby, the edge part 11a becomes a fixed end.

- the edge 11a of the top foil piece 11 can be fixed to the base plate 30 by a general mechanical fixing method such as screwing in addition to spot welding.
- the edge part 11a of this embodiment is being fixed to the vicinity of the boundary line 31b where the height becomes the lowest among the inclined surfaces 32 (refer FIG.
- positioned at the one inclined surface 32 is the vicinity of the boundary line 31a where the height becomes the highest among the adjacent other inclined surfaces 32 It may be fixed to.
- the end edge portion 11 b is arranged in parallel with the boundary line 31 a between the adjacent support regions 31 in the present embodiment, and therefore, the back foil is at the same height position on the inclined surface 32 of the base plate 30. It arrange
- the back foil piece 21 has a plurality of peak portions 23 arranged in the same direction as the inclined surface 32, and thus the peak portion 23 has a constant height in the length direction. Therefore, the end edge portion 11b is arranged at the same height position on the inclined surface 32 of the base plate 30, and is further supported on the peak portion 23 of the back foil piece 21 formed with a constant height, Its height is constant. In other words, the height of the edge 11b is the same in the longitudinal direction. That is, the end edge portion 11 b is positioned so as to be the highest in the top foil piece 11. Therefore, the end edge portion 11 b is closest to the thrust collar 4 when the thrust collar 4 is not rotated. Has been placed.
- the gap between the thrust collar 4 and the top foil piece 11 is gradually narrowed from the end edge portion 11a toward the end edge portion 11b on the rotational direction side of the thrust collar 4 (rotating shaft 1), and therefore, particularly at the end.
- Pressure due to the wedge effect is generated at the edge portion 11b, and an air film (fluid lubricating film) is formed.
- the thrust bearing 3A (3) stably supports the load (thrust collar 4).
- the height increases along the rotation direction of the thrust collar 4 in each support region 31 of the base plate 30 that supports the back foil piece 21 (bump foil piece).
- An inclined surface 32 is formed.
- the back foil piece 21 may be produced at a constant height without changing the height of the peak portion 23, and therefore the processing cost can be suppressed. Therefore, according to this thrust bearing 3A (3), it is possible to facilitate processing, improve mass productivity, and reduce costs. Further, since the machining is facilitated and variations are reduced, the bearing load capacity can be designed with high accuracy in advance.
- the inclined surface 32 is inclined in a direction orthogonal to the boundary line 31a formed along the radial direction of the base plate 30, the inclined surface 32 can be easily processed. Further, the back foil piece 21 (bump foil piece) can be easily processed corresponding to the shape of the inclined surface 32. That is, when the inclined surface is formed so that the height gradually increases along the circumferential direction of the base plate 30, the inclined surface is not a flat surface but a curved surface (curved surface), which makes it difficult to process. In addition, when the bump foil piece is formed corresponding to the inclined surface formed of such a curved surface, the peak portion and the valley portion are not formed in parallel to each other, but the pitch of the peak portion and the valley portion is set within the base plate 30.
- the inclined surface 32 is a flat surface, and the crests and troughs of the bump foil pieces only need to be formed in parallel with each other at the same pitch.
- the inclined surface may be formed so that the height gradually increases along the circumferential direction of the base plate 30, and in that case, the bump foil piece is formed so that the pitch of the crests and troughs is the base plate. You may form so that it may become narrow on the inner peripheral side of 30 and may become wide on the outer peripheral side. Even in that case, since the inclined surface 32 is formed on the base plate 30, it is not necessary to perform a process for changing the height of the peak portion of the bump foil (bump foil piece) for each mountain. In comparison, processing becomes easier and costs can be reduced.
- the pressure generated by the wedge effect can be further increased, and therefore the bearing load capacity can be increased. Can be increased. That is, a portion of the top foil piece 11 that generates the highest pressure due to the wedge effect and has a high height (a portion that narrows the gap with the thrust collar 4) extends across the entire edge 11b (in the radial direction of the base plate 30). Range), the generated pressure can be increased as compared with a case where only a part of the edge portion 11b is high.
- the end edge portion 11b on the rotation direction side of the thrust collar 4 is the back foil piece 21. It floats from the base plate 30 via the (back foil 20), and the space between the thrust collar 4 is narrowed. Therefore, a good wedge effect can be obtained as described above at the end edge portion 11b.
- the back foil piece 21 is arranged so that the arrangement direction of the crests 23 and the troughs 22 coincides with the inclination direction of the inclined surface 32, the height of the crests 23 is formed to be the same.
- the height of the top foil piece 11 can be changed in accordance with the inclined surface 32 of the base plate 30. Therefore, since the back foil piece 21 should just form the height of the peak part 23, the process of the back foil piece 21 can be made easy.
- the back foil piece 21 is fixed to the base plate 30 by the edge portion 21a on the rotation direction side of the thrust collar 4, the back foil piece 21 is formed along the direction in which the valley portions 22 of the back foil piece 21 are formed (the radial direction of the base plate 30).
- it can be fixed to the base plate 30 by spot welding, so that the fixing can be easily performed.
- the crest 23 of the back foil piece 21 expands in the direction along the inclined surface 32, and each crest 23 slides in the above direction.
- Flexible spring characteristics are demonstrated.
- the top foil cannot appropriately follow the change of the fluid lubricating film formed with a thickness of several ⁇ m, and the fluid lubricating film may break due to impact or the like, and the thrust collar and the top foil may contact each other. This contact may interfere with the normal operation of the bearing.
- the inclined surface 32 of the present embodiment is continuously formed from the boundary line 31b to the boundary line 31a, and no concave portion or convex portion or the like whose inclination angle changes abruptly is provided in the inclined surface. Further, the back foil piece 21 is arranged in such an inclined surface 32. Therefore, when the load is received from the top foil piece 11, the resistance of the inclined surface 32 to the slide of the peak portion 23 can be reduced, and the peak portion 23 can slide flexibly even with a low load. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the spring constant of the bearing from excessively rising, the top foil piece 11 can appropriately follow the change of the fluid lubricating film, and can always maintain a good fluid lubricating film. That is, the normal operation of the bearing can be maintained.
- the thrust bearing 3B (3) of the second embodiment is mainly different from the thrust bearing 3A (3) of the first embodiment.
- an inclined surface and a flat surface are formed on the base plate 40. This is the point.
- 4A is a side sectional view at a position corresponding to FIG. 2B

- a flat surface 42 is formed on the rotational side of the thrust collar 4 (the rotational direction traveling side, the position near the boundary line 31a). That is, the inclined surface 41 and the flat surface 42 are each formed in the support area
- the flat surface 42 extends from the highest position of the inclined surface 41 (the end portion on the traveling side of the thrust collar 4 in the rotational direction) to the boundary line 31a on the rotational direction side of the thrust collar 4 (rotating shaft 1). Unlike the inclined surface 41, it is a plane parallel to the back surface of the base plate 40. That is, the flat surface 42 is a surface formed so as to be arranged in parallel to the outer surface of the thrust collar 4 (a surface perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotation shaft 1) in a normal state without a biased load. . Therefore, the flat surface 42 is also arranged so as to be perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotary shaft 1.
- the boundary line 43 (second boundary line) between the inclined surface 41 and the flat surface 42 is formed along the radial direction of the base plate 40 as shown in FIG. 4B.
- the boundary line 43 of this embodiment is provided on the meridian passing through the center of the base plate 40 (or its vicinity), it is not restricted to this, You may provide in the position away from this meridian.
- the inclined surface 41 is inclined so that the height gradually decreases in a direction orthogonal to the boundary line 43 (see arrow P in FIG. 4B). Therefore, also in the present embodiment, a step is formed between the location where each boundary line 31a is formed, that is, between one support region 31 and the other support region 31 adjacent to each other with the boundary line 31a interposed therebetween.
- the inclined surface 41 is inclined in a direction orthogonal to the boundary line 43. For this reason, when a straight line parallel to the boundary line 43 is assumed at any position in the inclined surface 41, the height of the straight line is the same in the longitudinal direction.
- the inclined surface 41 is defined by a boundary line 31b and a boundary line 43, and is formed such that its height increases from the boundary line 31b toward the boundary line 43. Moreover, the inclined surface 41 is continuously formed from the boundary line 31b to the boundary line 43, and the recessed part and convex part etc. in which an inclination angle changes rapidly are not provided in the inclined surface.
- the inclined surface 41 of the present embodiment is formed to have a constant inclination angle from the boundary line 31b to the boundary line 43.
- the inclined surface 41 may be inclined so as to be slightly curved in a concave shape or a convex shape as a whole in the range from the boundary line 31 b to the boundary line 43 when viewed from the radial direction of the base plate 40.
- the boundary line 43 is located in a plane perpendicular to the central axis of the rotation shaft 1. That is, the height of the boundary line 43 (height in the central axis direction) is the same in the longitudinal direction.
- the inclined surface 41 of the present embodiment is formed in a substantially trapezoidal shape in which an inner circumferential arc and an outer circumferential arc longer than the inner circumferential arc are connected by a pair of radial lines in plan view.
- the tangent line of the inner circumference side arc and the boundary line 43 are substantially orthogonal to each other.
- the tangent to the outer circumferential arc and the boundary line 43 are substantially orthogonal to each other.
- the flat surface 42 is formed so as to be adjacent to the rotational direction side of the thrust collar 4 in the inclined surface 41 of the support region 31. That is, since the flat surface 42 is connected to the portion of the inclined surface 41 where the height is the highest, the top foil piece 11 has a particularly high height when the thrust collar 4 is rotated as shown in FIG. 4A. The highest point has a relatively wide area corresponding to the flat surface 42. Therefore, only a part of the top foil piece 11 is in contact with the thrust collar 4 and is worn before the air film (fluid lubrication film) is formed at the initial rotation of the thrust collar 4 (rotating shaft 1). Can be prevented.
- the peak load can be lowered and the total load carrying capacity of the thrust bearing 3 can be increased.
- processing can be facilitated by narrowing the range of the inclined surface 41 as compared with the first embodiment.
- FIG. 4C is a sectional side view of an essential part of a modification of the thrust bearing according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 4C is a side sectional view at a position corresponding to FIG. 2B (FIG. 4A).
- the back foil piece 21 in this modified example is disposed in the inclined surface 41.
- the top foil piece 11 is formed slightly larger than the back foil piece 21 in a plan view, and is arranged so as to cover the back foil piece 21.
- the inclined surface 41 in the present embodiment is continuously formed from the boundary line 31b to the boundary line 43, and a concave portion or a convex portion whose inclination angle changes rapidly is provided in the inclined surface. It is not done.
- the back foil piece 21 is arranged in such an inclined surface 41, the resistance of the inclined surface 41 to the slide of the mountain portion 23 when receiving a load from the top foil piece 11 can be reduced, and is low.
- the peak portion 23 can slide flexibly with respect to the load. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the spring constant of the bearing from excessively rising, the top foil piece 11 can appropriately follow the change of the fluid lubricating film, and can always maintain a good fluid lubricating film. That is, the normal operation of the bearing can be maintained.
- the edge 11a of the present embodiment and this modification is fixed in the vicinity of the boundary line 31b having the lowest height in the inclined surface 41 (see FIGS. 4A to 4C).
- the end edge portion 11a can be fixed to the base plate 40 by a general mechanical fixing method such as spot welding or screwing.
- region 31 may be being fixed to the boundary line 31a vicinity in the flat surface 42 of the other adjacent support area
- the thrust bearing 3C (3) of the third embodiment is different from the thrust bearing 3B (3) of the second embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, between a flat surface formed on the base plate 50 and an inclined surface. This is a point where the positional relationship between them is reversed from the positional relationship in the second embodiment in the circumferential direction of the base plate 50.
- 5A is a side sectional view at a position corresponding to FIG. 2B
- FIG. 5B is a perspective view of the base plate 50.
- the base plate 50 of the present embodiment has six support regions 31 like the base plate 30 of the first embodiment, and the rotation direction of the thrust collar 4 (rotary shaft 1) is provided in each support region 31.
- An inclined surface 51 whose height increases along the line is formed.
- the boundary line 31 a between the adjacent support regions 31 is formed along the radial direction of the base plate 50 in this embodiment as well.
- the inclined surface 32 is formed on the entire support region 31, whereas in the present embodiment, a part of the support region 31, that is, on the rotation direction side (rotation direction traveling side) of the thrust collar 4. Only the inclined surface 51 is formed.
- a flat surface 52 is formed on the side of the support region 31 opposite to the rotation direction of the thrust collar 4.
- the flat surface 52 is a plane extending from the lowest position of the inclined surface 51 to the boundary line 31b on the side opposite to the rotation direction of the thrust collar 4 (rotating shaft 1). Similar to the flat surface 42, unlike the inclined surface 51, the surface is parallel to the back surface of the base plate 50. That is, it is a surface formed so as to be arranged in parallel to the outer surface of the thrust collar 4 (a surface perpendicular to the central axis of the rotation shaft 1) in a normal state without a biased load.
- the boundary line 53 between the inclined surface 51 and the flat surface 52 is formed in parallel with the boundary line 31a as shown in FIG. 5B.
- the inclined surface 51 is inclined so that the height gradually decreases in the direction orthogonal to the boundary line 31a, as in the first embodiment. Therefore, also in the present embodiment, a step is formed between the location where each boundary line 31a is formed, that is, between one support region 31 and the other support region 31 adjacent to each other with the boundary line 31a interposed therebetween.
- the flat surface 52 is formed by connecting to the side of the inclined surface 51 of the support region 31 opposite to the rotational direction of the thrust collar 4, so that the first embodiment is used. In comparison, the range of the inclined surface 51 can be narrowed, and processing can be facilitated.
- the trough 22 is rotated by forming, for example, a trough 22 which is an edge of the back foil piece 21 on the side opposite to the rotation direction of the thrust collar 4, for example, parallel to the boundary line 53. You may fix the trough part 22 of the edge part 21b on the opposite side to a rotation direction on the flat surface 52 instead of a direction side. In this case, it can be fixed to the base plate 50 by, for example, spot welding along the formation direction of the valley portion 22 of the back foil piece 21 and can be fixed easily.
- the portion for fixing the back foil piece 21 and the portion for fixing the top foil piece 11 are both fixed on the flat surface 52 on the side opposite to the rotation direction of the thrust collar 4. Therefore, the back foil piece 21 and the top foil piece 11 can be arranged with high accuracy so that the relative positional relationship thereof is as designed.
- the present invention is not limited to the plurality of embodiments. That is, the shapes and combinations of the constituent members shown in the plurality of embodiments are examples, and additions, omissions, substitutions, and the like of configurations are based on design requirements and the like without departing from the gist of the present invention.

Description
本願は、2012年10月16日に日本に出願された特願2012-228892号に基づき優先権を主張し、その内容をここに援用する。
また、下記特許文献3~6にも、スラストカラーを支持するスラスト軸受が開示されている。
このようにトップフォイルの高さを精度よく変化させることができないと、量産性が低くなるためコストが高くなる。また、軸受負荷能力を予め設計するのが困難になるため、性能の評価が難しく、実用性が低くなる可能性がある。
本発明の第2の態様によれば、傾斜面の加工を容易に行うことができるとともに、この傾斜面に対応してバックフォイル片の加工も容易に行うことができる。
本発明の第3の態様によれば、くさび効果によって発生する圧力をより高めることができ、したがってスラスト軸受の軸受負荷能力をより高めることができる。
本発明の第4の態様によれば、スラストカラーの回転方向側におけるトップフォイル片の端縁部は、バックフォイルを介してベースプレートから離れた状態となるので、スラストカラーとの間が狭くなり、したがって良好なくさび効果が得られる。
本発明の第5の態様によれば、バックフォイル片によってトップフォイル片を弾性的に支持することができる。
本発明の第6の態様によれば、バックフォイル片の複数の山部の高さを同一に形成することで、トップフォイル片の高さをベースプレートの傾斜面に合わせて変化させることができる。したがって、バックフォイル片の加工を容易にすることができる。
本発明の第7の態様によれば、バックフォイル片の谷部の形成方向に沿って例えば溶接でバックフォイル片をベースプレートに固定することができ、固定を容易に行うことができる。
図1は、本発明のスラスト軸受が適用されるターボ機械の一例を模式的に示す側面図である。図1中符号1は回転軸、符号2は回転軸の先端部に設けられたインペラ、符号3は本発明に係るスラスト軸受を示している。
また、インペラ2は静止部材であるハウジング5内に配置されており、ハウジング5との間にチップクリアランス6が形成されている。
また、回転軸1には、スラストカラー4より回転軸1の中央寄りに、ラジアル軸受7が設けられている。
この第1実施形態のスラスト軸受3A(3)は、図1においてスラストカラー4よりもインペラ2寄りの位置に配置された軸受である。なお、本実施形態では、図1においてインペラ2寄りの位置に配置されたスラスト軸受3A(3)、及び図1においてスラストカラー4を挟んでその反対側、すなわちラジアル軸受7寄りの位置に配置されたスラスト軸受3は、同一の構成要素をそれぞれ備えている。ただし、ラジアル軸受7寄りのスラスト軸受3は、スラスト軸受3A(3)の構成が図1における左右方向で逆となった構成を備えている。
境界線31aは、回転軸1の中心軸に垂直な平面内に位置している。すなわち、境界線31aの高さ(上記中心軸方向での高さ)は、その長手方向において同一となっている。
傾斜面32は、境界線31aと直交する方向に傾斜している。このため、傾斜面32内のいずれかの位置において、境界線31aと平行な直線を想定した場合、この直線の高さは、その長手方向において同一となっている。
また、傾斜面32は、境界線31bから境界線31aに向かうに従いその高さが増加するように形成されている。また、傾斜面32は、境界線31bから境界線31aまで連続的に形成されており、傾斜角度が急激に変化する凹部や凸部等がその傾斜面内に設けられていない。本実施形態の傾斜面32は、境界線31bから境界線31aまで一定の傾斜角度を有するように形成されている。なお、傾斜面32は、ベースプレート30の径方向から見たときに、境界線31bから境界線31aまでの範囲で全体的に凹状又は凸状に僅かに湾曲するように傾斜されていてもよい。
なお、本実施形態での境界線31a、31bは、ベースプレート30の中心を通る径線上に位置しているが、この径線に平行しつつ、この径線から離間した位置に設けられていてもよい。また、境界線31bは、ベースプレート30の中心を通る径線と所定の角度を形成するように配置されていてもよい。
また、バックフォイル片21は、スラストカラー4の回転方向側の端縁部21a、すなわち端縁部21aとなる谷部22の形成方向に沿って、ベースプレート30にスポット溶接されて固定されている。その際、図3Bに示すようにバックフォイル片21の端縁部21aは、全体が連続する一つの谷部22によって形成されているため、この谷部22全体を容易にベースプレート30に溶接することができる。したがって、バックフォイル片21は、溶接による固定が容易に行える。
なお、ベースプレート30への端縁部21aの固定については、スポット溶接以外にも、例えばネジ止めなどの一般的な機械的固定方法によって行うことができる。
また、本実施形態では、バックフォイル片21の、境界線31a寄りに位置する端縁部21aがベースプレート30に固定されているが、これに限定されず、バックフォイル片21の、境界線31b寄りに位置する端縁部がベースプレート30に固定されていてもよい。
本実施形態の端縁部11aは、傾斜面32のうち、その高さが最も低くなる境界線31bの近傍に固定されている(図2B、3A参照)。なお、これに限定されず、一の傾斜面32に配置されているトップフォイル片11の端縁部11aが、隣り合う他の傾斜面32のうちその高さが最も高くなる境界線31aの近傍に固定されていてもよい。
回転軸1が高速で回転すると、スラストカラー4とスラスト軸受3A(3)の軸受面であるトップフォイル片11(トップフォイル10)との間に、くさび効果による空気膜(流体潤滑膜)が形成される。すなわち、トップフォイル片11は、山部23の高さが一定に形成されて配置されたバックフォイル片21を介して、支持領域31に形成された傾斜面32上に配置されている。そのため、トップフォイル片11の高さは、傾斜面32の傾斜に沿って端縁部11aから端縁部11bに向かって漸次高くなっている。
よって、このスラスト軸受3A(3)によれば、加工を容易にして量産性を向上し、コストの低減化を図ることができる。また、加工が容易になってバラツキが少なくなるため、軸受負荷能力を予め精度良く設計することができる。
本実施形態の傾斜面32は、境界線31bから境界線31aまで連続的に形成されており、傾斜角度が急激に変化する凹部や凸部等がその傾斜面内に設けられていない。また、バックフォイル片21は、このような傾斜面32内に配置されている。そのため、トップフォイル片11から荷重を受けたときの、山部23のスライドに対する傾斜面32の抵抗を低減することができ、低い荷重に対しても山部23は柔軟にスライドすることができる。よって、軸受のバネ定数が過度に上昇することを防止し、トップフォイル片11は流体潤滑膜の変化に適切に追従でき、良好な流体潤滑膜を常に維持することが可能となる。すなわち、軸受の正常な動作が維持できる。
次に、本発明のスラスト軸受3の第2実施形態について説明する。
第2実施形態のスラスト軸受3B(3)が第1実施形態のスラスト軸受3A(3)と主に異なるところは、図4A、4Bに示すように、ベースプレート40に傾斜面と平坦面とを形成した点である。なお、図4Aは図2Bに対応した位置での側断面図であり、図4Bはベースプレート40の斜視図である。
また、傾斜面41は、境界線43と直交する方向に高さが漸次低くなるように傾斜している(図4Bの矢印P参照)。したがって、本実施形態でも、各境界線31aが形成された箇所、すなわち境界線31aを挟んで隣り合う一方の支持領域31と他方の支持領域31との間に、段差が形成されている。
傾斜面41は、境界線43と直交する方向に傾斜している。このため、傾斜面41内のいずれかの位置において、境界線43と平行な直線を想定した場合、この直線の高さは、その長手方向において同一となっている。
境界線43は、回転軸1の中心軸に垂直な平面内に位置している。すなわち、境界線43の高さ(上記中心軸方向での高さ)は、その長手方向において同一となっている。
本実施形態の傾斜面41は、平面視で、内周側円弧と内周側円弧よりも長い外周側円弧とが一対の径線によって接続された略台形状に形成されている。傾斜面41における内周側円弧と境界線43との接続部では、この内周側円弧の接線と境界線43とが互いに略直交している。同様に、傾斜面41における外周側円弧と境界線43との接続部では、この外周側円弧の接線と境界線43とが互いに略直交している。
したがって、スラストカラー4(回転軸1)の回転初期時において空気膜(流体潤滑膜)が形成されるまでの間に、トップフォイル片11の一部分のみがスラストカラー4に接触して損耗するのを防止することができる。また、ピーク荷重(最大荷重)が発生する面積を広く取ることで、ピーク荷重を下げることができ、スラスト軸受3の総荷重負荷能力を高めることができる。
また、第1実施形態に比べて傾斜面41の範囲を狭くすることにより、加工を容易にすることができる。
この変形例でのバックフォイル片21は、傾斜面41内に配置されている。トップフォイル片11は、平面視でバックフォイル片21よりも僅かに大きく形成されており、バックフォイル片21を覆うように配置されている。
上述したように、本実施形態での傾斜面41は、境界線31bから境界線43まで連続的に形成されており、傾斜角度が急激に変化する凹部や凸部等がその傾斜面内に設けられていない。バックフォイル片21はこのような傾斜面41内に配置されているため、トップフォイル片11から荷重を受けたときの、山部23のスライドに対する傾斜面41の抵抗を低減することができ、低い荷重に対しても山部23は柔軟にスライドすることができる。よって、軸受のバネ定数が過度に上昇することを防止し、トップフォイル片11は流体潤滑膜の変化に適切に追従でき、良好な流体潤滑膜を常に維持することが可能となる。すなわち、軸受の正常な動作が維持できる。
なお、本実施形態及び本変形例の端縁部11aは、傾斜面41のうち、その高さが最も低くなる境界線31bの近傍に固定されている(図4A~4C参照)。ベースプレート40への端縁部11aの固定は、スポット溶接や、ネジ止めなどの一般的な機械的固定方法によって行うことができる。なお、一の支持領域31に配置されているトップフォイル片11の端縁部11aが、隣り合う他の支持領域31の平坦面42における境界線31aの近傍に固定されていてもよい。
次に、本発明のスラスト軸受3の第3実施形態について説明する。
第3実施形態のスラスト軸受3C(3)が第2実施形態のスラスト軸受3B(3)と異なるところは、図5A、5Bに示すように、ベースプレート50に形成される平坦面と傾斜面との間の位置関係を、ベースプレート50の周方向において第2実施形態での位置関係とは逆にした点である。なお、図5Aは図2Bに対応した位置での側断面図であり、図5Bはベースプレート50の斜視図である。
また、本実施形態では、バックフォイル片21の、スラストカラー4の回転方向と反対の側の端縁部となる谷部22を例えば境界線53と平行に形成することにより、スラストカラー4の回転方向側でなく、回転方向と反対の側の端縁部21bの谷部22を平坦面52上に固定してもよい。この場合、バックフォイル片21の谷部22の形成方向に沿って例えばスポット溶接でベースプレート50に固定することができ、その固定を容易に行うことができる。
例えば、前記実施形態ではベースプレートの支持領域を6つ形成し、これら支持領域にそれぞれバックフォイル片(バンプフォイル片)、トップフォイル片を配置したが、支持領域については複数であれば、5つ以下でも、7つ以上であってもよい。その場合、バックフォイル片(バンプフォイル片)やトップフォイル片の数は支持領域の数に応じて変更される。
さらに、支持領域上へのトップフォイル片やバックフォイル片(バンプフォイル片)の配置、傾斜面の傾斜方向、支持領域間の境界線の長さ方向、平坦面と傾斜面との間の境界線の長さ方向など、前記実施形態以外にも種々の形態を採用することが可能である。
