Oil outlets penetrating from an inner circumferential surface to an outer circumferential surface of a carrier ring are located in at least two of: a range that is on a forward side in a rotation direction of a rotary shaft from an upstream pivot and on a backward side in the rotation direction of the rotary shaft from a downstream pivot, a range that is from 180 degrees to 360 degrees and is from a position at a vertical height of the downstream pivot to a position at a topmost vertical height of the rotary shaft, or a range that is from 0 degrees to 180 degrees and is from a position at a vertical height of the upstream pivot to the position at the topmost vertical height of the rotary shaft.

Journal bearing and rotating machine

A journal bearing includes an oil supply nozzle, having an oil distribution part which extends in an axial direction of the rotation shaft and supplies lubricating oil, and a pad, provided at the rear side of the oil supply nozzle, in a rotational direction of the rotation shaft and supporting the rotation shaft rotatably. The inner periphery face of the pad, which opposes the outer periphery face of the rotation shaft, has an opening side face, in which the radial direction spacing between the inner periphery face and the outer periphery face of the rotation shaft becomes smaller, from the front end face of the pad, located at the front side in the rotational direction of the rotation shaft, toward the rear side in the rotational direction, and between the oil distribution part and the pad, the journal bearing has a bubble discharge path which discharges air bubbles.

Journal bearing and rotary appliance using a journal bearing

Provided is a journal bearing, including: a carrier ring; a pad; and an oil supply nozzle configured to supply oil to a portion between a rotation shaft and the pad. The pad includes: an inner peripheral surface opposed to the rotation shaft; and an upstream end surface located on an upstream side of the inner peripheral surface in a rotating direction of the rotation shaft. The inner peripheral surface includes a partially cylindrical surface, and a recessed portion, which is arranged on an upstream side of the partially cylindrical surface, and forms an opening space for storing the oil. The opening space includes: an oil inlet port opened at the upstream end surface; and an oil outlet port opened toward the rotation shaft. The pad includes a backflow preventing portion configured to prevent the oil in the opening space from flowing back to the oil inlet port.
