The motor has a thrust cap (50) fitted to its end cap by snap fit fingers (54). The thrust cap (50) closes a hole (46) in the bearing retainer (42) of the end cap and provides a thrust bearing surface (52) against which the end of the shaft contacts to limit axial movement or end play of the shaft.

An elastomer spring for supporting an axially arranged coil spring, in particular in an engine mounting is constructed to reduce the radial loads on the coil spring with simultaneous damping and includes a transversely soft composition for the elastomeric spring. The elastomeric spring is provided with a centering projection which may be introduced into the coil spring and a section which may be deformed by the effect of radial forces, with a molded sheet being provided to stabilize the force ca...

A thrust bearing for a rotating machine has a rotating ring and a bearing shoe for use in a non-filled oil chamber that permits oil flow through the bearing shoe. The oil flows out a leading recessed groove in the bearing shoe and across the bearing shoe surface. This permits for the oil flow to cool the bearing shoe and maintain lubrication between the bearing shoe and the rotating ring. Further, the non-filled oil chamber acts more as an oil collection chamber which provides two distinct advan...

A thrust bearing for a rotating member that is subject to axial forces causing movement in an axial direction of a rotating member. A sealing surface is positioned on at least a portion of the rotating member. A bearing is positioned adjacent the rotating member. A sealing face is positioned on the bearing. The sealing face is disposed to be in opposed relationship with the sealing surface on the rotating member. A bearing space is located between the sealing face and the sealing surface. A flui...

A thrust bearing for use with a shaft having a collar mounted thereon, comprises a base ring, a series of thrust bearing shoes positioned on the base ring, each shoe having a leading edge connected to a trailing edge by an inner diameter edge and an outer diameter edge, each thrust bearing shoe having a working face with a bearing liner on its surface, a shoe pivot member on each shoe allowing the shoe to pivot in any direction, an oil distribution groove formed in the working face of each shoe ...

A thrust bearing assembly includes a bearing housing and a shaft supported therein in a front and rear spherical thrust roller bearings. First and second spring devices are provided to pre-load the front and rear bearings. The bearing pre-load exerted by the first spring device acts on the front bearing in a direction opposed to a working load applied to the front bearing. The first spring device removes the spring force from the front bearing race rings, when exposed to a working load exceeding...

A thrust reverser for a gas turbine engine of the type to power an aircraft, the thrust reverser comprising a first pair of half round doors nesting in a second pair of half round doors and both being pivoted on an axis extending diametrically of a jet pipe for the gas turbine engine. Each of the first pair of half round doors having a downstream edge which has a scarfed portion thereon and each of said second pair of half round doors having a downstream edge which is fully scarfed, the scarfed ...

A thrust bearing adapted to be rotated reversibly in the normal and opposite directions comprises two flat disc elements disposed in face-to-face contact, one of the elements being provided with spiral grooves on its opposite side surfaces, one of which is reverse to the other with respect to the spiral directions, both elements having a dent formed centrally on their opposing surfaces, respectively, to form a small space in combination in which a core member of sphere is installed with a small ...

A thrust augmenter for a propeller fluid drive (11) comprising a hollow substantially cylindrical body (12) having an open rear face (15) which is part circular or circular and is located closely adjacent and ahead of the propeller (11) wherein the outside diameter of the rear face (15) is larger than the propeller (11).

A thrust bearing assembly including a tubular mount conformed to receive an axially loaded shaft, the shaft being formed as a cylindrical shank terminating in a circular cap receivable in the interior of the mount. A selected number of rings is then stacked onto the shank to transfer lateral loads to the mount with a complementary number of discs being inserted below the cap for taking out axial loads. Each of the discs, furthermore, include oppositely arced grooves on the faces thereof for dyna...
