ASSEMBLY OF HYDRODYNAMIC RIBBON BEARING Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC F16C17/12 F16C32/06 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: assembly of hydrodynamic ribbon bearing includes bearing housing (3) including hole (4) to provide the fluid medium flow to housing (3), at least on ribbon insert that includes at least one hole and restricts a cylindrical cavity to receive rotating shaft (11) into it, and devices for fluid medium supply from hole (4) to the gap between ribbon insert and shaft (11) through the hole of ribbon insert till film of compressed fluid medium is formed in that gap. The hole of the ribbon insert represents a parallel passing slot hole.

EFFECT: providing additional supply of lubricant to a gap between external periphery of the rotating shaft and internal surface of ribbon bearing wall, preventing dry friction, reducing wear of ribbon bearing surface and increasing loading capacity of the bearing.
