Abstract

A gas lubricated bearing for a rotating shaft is described. The assembly comprises a stationary collar having an annular member resiliently supported thereon. The collar and annular member are provided with cooperating gas passages arranged for admission of pressurized gas which supports and lubricates a bearing block fixed to the rotatable shaft. The resilient means for the annular member support the latter against movement away from the bearing block when the assembly is in operation.

Device for selectively separating and connecting a rotatable shaft

Patent Maucher, P; Friedmann, O

Device for selectively separating and connecting a rotatable shaft, such as the crankshaft of an internal combustion engine, to a flywheel assembly of a friction clutch has a bearing in which the flywheel assembly is rotatable relative to the shaft, a friction plate non-rotatably connected to the shaft and having friction surfaces disposed at the opposite sides thereof, two pressure plates forming part of the flywheel assembly and each having a friction surface cooperating with one of the friction surfaces of the friction plates, the pressure plate being axially movably but non-rotatably connected to each other and, one of themore »« less
Well drilling tool with diamond radial/thrust bearings

Patent Nagel, D; Aparicio, T

A turbodrill is disclosed for connection to a drill string and has a rotating shaft for turning a drill bit. The turbodrill has rotor and stator blades operated by drilling mud flowing therethrough to rotate the shaft. The shaft is provided with radial/thrust bearing consisting of a pair of annular plates, each of which has conical surfaces supporting a plurality of friction bearing members of polycrystalline diamond. The radial and thrust loads are carried by the wear-resistant diamond bearing surfaces. The bearing members are preferably cylindrical studs having flat faces with flat disc-shaped diamond bearing members supported thereon around themore »« less
