Of all hydrodynamic bearing types, tilting pad bearings offer the optimum in rotor stability due to their exceptional stiffness and damping characteristics.The reduction in cross-coupling coefficients provides the basis for maximum rotor stability in high circumferential speeds or thrust loading applications. For this reason, tilting pad bearings are ideal for use in high-speed machinery operating like turbines, gearboxes, turbo-compressors, vertical generators, electrical machines or turbochargers. In order to adapt to the rapid development of modern industrial ,the speed limit of steam turbine and compressor, gear box and other rotating machinery is further improved. In all types of sliding bearing, tilting pad bearings have stiffness, damping and other ideal dynamic characteristic . These characteristics ensure the stability of the rotor system of the rotating machinery.
