🔍 Key Concepts

• Kingsbury thrust bearing construction and purpose • How thrust is distributed equally among multiple shoes or pads • Difference between load‑carrying parts (shoes) and the parts that support/align them

💭 Think About

• Think about which component in a thrust bearing actually moves or tilts to let each shoe/pad carry its fair share of the load. • Ask yourself: which of these choices sounds like a part that would sit directly under the shoes to keep their load balanced, rather than a rolling-element raceway? • Consider where you would expect this part to be located in the assembly: fixed to the housing, attached to the shaft, or arranged under the individual shoes?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options (if any) are typical terms for rolling-element bearings rather than tilting‑pad thrust bearings. • Focus on the word "leveling" and how equal load sharing would be achieved mechanically. • Visualize the thrust bearing cross‑section and confirm which part transmits thrust from the collar to all shoes evenly.
