🔍 Key Concepts

• Kingsbury thrust bearing construction and purpose • How a tilting-pad (pivoted pad) thrust bearing creates a wedge of oil • Differences in function between collar, base ring, dowel disk, and shoes

💭 Think About

• Which component actually contacts the rotating collar and can change its angle slightly to shape the oil film? • Which parts are fixed structural supports vs. movable bearing surfaces? • Think about which element is designed to "tilt" in a tilting‑pad thrust bearing design.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which part forms the bearing surface against the thrust collar • Confirm which element is specifically designed to pivot/tilt on a support or pivot point • Eliminate any components whose primary job is support, alignment, or securing, not carrying the thrust load with an oil wedge
