Abstract
An improved slant axis rotary mechanism including a housing defining a chamber having an operating cavity. A shaft is journalled in the housing and includes an angularly offset portion within the chamber. The angularly offset portion has a peripheral, generally radially outwardly extending thrust collar. A rotor is disposed in the chamber and surrounds the angularly offset portion. Thrust bearings sandwich the thrust collar and engage the rotor and a journal bearing is disposed on the radially outer portion of the thrust collar and journals the rotor on the shaft. The journal bearing is functionally uncoupled from the thrust bearing.
