🔍 Key Concepts

• Kingsbury thrust bearing construction – how thrust shoes and leveling plates are arranged • How axial load is equalized among the shoes in a thrust bearing • Difference between parts that locate/hinge plates vs. parts that lock or fasten them

💭 Think About

• Think about which component allows each leveling plate to tilt slightly so the thrust shoes can share the load evenly. • Ask yourself: does a leveling plate need to be rigidly locked in place, or supported so it can move just enough? • Which option describes a small support at a point, allowing rocking or self‑alignment rather than preventing movement?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices describe rigid locking/fastening versus point or hinge support. • Recall that Kingsbury bearings rely on self‑aligning, tilting pads to form hydrodynamic oil wedges. • Make sure the option you choose would permit controlled tilting of the plates instead of completely fixing them.
