A tilting pad journal bearing mounted with a stepped seal tooth at an oil supply part disposed between bearing pads is disclosed. More particularly, the tilting pad journal bearing is formed by mounting a plurality of the bearing pads between an inner circumference of a bearing case and an outer circumference of a rotor, and mounting the seal tooth only to the oil supply part formed between the bearing pads to supply cooling lubricant while removing the seal tooth from a bearing pad part to thereby reduce a frictional torque between the bearing and the rotor and metal temperature, such that performance of the bearing pad can be guaranteed and the capability of the bearing can be improved by reducing loss of a driving force.
