Abstract
A thrust foil air bearing for an apparatus having a stationary part and a rotating part that rotates about a centerline. The bearing has a lower plate fixed to the stationary part, a middle plate on the lower plate and carrying an elastically deformable bump foil, and an upper plate on the middle plate facing the rotating part and carrying a top foil that rests on the bump foil. The top foil includes a leading edge disposed upstream with respect to a flow of air and configured to move downward toward the lower plate by air pressure generated by rotation of the rotating part, thereby increasing air pressure generated on an upper surface of the top foil and enabling the thrust foil air bearing to support a higher load.
