🔍 Key Concepts

• Segmental pivoted-shoe thrust bearing construction and purpose • How hydrodynamic lubrication (oil wedge) works between the shoe and collar • Which part of the bearing actually shares or balances the load from shoe to shoe

💭 Think About

• Think about which component is specifically designed to move or adjust so that each shoe can carry a similar share of the thrust load. • Consider which part is mainly for creating a lubricating film versus which part is for mechanical support and load distribution. • For each option, ask: does this part actively help equalize the pressure on multiple shoes, or is it just a surface or support piece?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which component can tilt, flex, or adjust to match misalignment and share load between shoes. • Separate the function of forming the oil wedge (lubricating film) from the function of mechanical load equalization. • Confirm which part is in contact with all the shoes together, rather than just one surface or one side.
