🔍 Key Concepts

• Kingsbury thrust bearing design and purpose • How hydrodynamic lubrication works between two surfaces • The shape of the oil film needed to build pressure and carry axial load

💭 Think About

• Think about how a rotating collar running against pads can create a pressure build‑up in the oil between them—what film geometry would let the pressure gradually increase from inlet to outlet? • Which oil film shape would naturally form when one surface is slightly tilted relative to the other and oil is dragged in by rotation? • Eliminate any shapes that would NOT promote a gradual change in film thickness, since that change is key to hydrodynamic pressure generation.

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you recall that the Kingsbury thrust bearing uses tilting pads with a rotating collar—picture the gap shape between them. • Verify which film shape allows load-carrying pressure to develop due to changes in film thickness, not just because oil is present. • Rule out options that describe shapes unlikely to form between a flat rotating disk and slightly tilting pads.
