THRUST HYDROSTATIC BEARING DEVICE FOR USE IN AXIAL PISTON MACHINE

摘要

A thrust hydrostatic bearing device for use in an axial piston machine includes a bearing sleeve (8) fitted into a housing cover (1) for rotatably supporting a drive shaft (6A) through a bearing (9) and having a plurality of hydrostatic pads (16). The hydrostatic pads (16) are disposed at locations which are symmetrical with respect to an axis lying in a cross-section taken perpendicular to the drive shaft (6A), and these pads (16) increase the performance and durability of the thrust hydrostatic bearing device for use in an axial piston machine.
