Abstract:
A bearing includes a bearing pad for supporting a rotary component and a housing attached to or formed integrally with the bearing pad. The housing defines a first fluid damper cavity positioned adjacent to the bearing pad and a second fluid damper cavity spaced from the first fluid damper cavity. The first and the second fluid damper cavities are in restrictive flow communication. The housing is configured to transfer a fluid from the first fluid damper cavity to the second fluid damper cavity in response to a force acting on the bearing pad to dampen a movement of the bearing pad.
