Abstract
A tilting pad journal bearing is arranged such that a circumferential relative position of an opening portion of an oil feeding hole to supply lubricant oil to a sliding portion of a bearing pad with respect to the bearing pad differs depending on the position of each bearing pad. For a bearing pad under a rotary shaft which supports the load of the rotary shaft, the circumferential position of an opening portion of an oil feeding hole with respect to the bearing pad is set toward an upstream side of a space between pads in a rotating direction of the rotary shaft. For a bearing pad above the rotary shaft, the circumferential position of an opening portion of an oil feeding hole with respect to the bearing pad is set toward a downstream side of a space between pads in the rotating direction of the rotary shaft.
