🔍 Key Concepts

• Kingsbury (pivot shoe) thrust bearing operation • How hydrodynamic lubrication works (wedge-shaped oil film) • Difference between parallel surface bearings and tilting-pad / pivot-shoe bearings

💭 Think About

• Which design feature of a pivot shoe bearing actually changes the SHAPE of the oil film between the collar and the shoes? • How does a wedge-shaped oil film affect load-carrying capacity compared to two flat, parallel surfaces with oil between them? • Among the choices, which option describes an effect that would directly increase the pressure the oil film can support, not just alignment or fit?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option clearly refers to oil film SHAPE or formation, not just alignment or clearance. • Ask yourself: which feature would create a self-pressurizing oil wedge as the shaft turns and thrust is applied? • Eliminate options that only mention fitting, wear adjustment, or staying parallel, without mentioning a tilting/angling action that forms a wedge.
