Abstract:
A hydrodynamic bearing that includes a carrier (10) and a plurality of bearing pads (1120, 1121) circumferentially-spaced about the carrier (10). The bearing has a multimode configuration for supporting a shaft that rotates in two or more distinct modes. The multimode bearing includes a carrier (10) for supporting two or more distinct sets of bearing pads (1120, 1121). Each set of bearing pads (1120, 1121) includes bearing pads (1120, 1121) that include a pad portion (1126, 1129) and a support portion (1124, 1125, 1130). The bearing pads (1120, 1121) of each set are supported by the carrier (10).
