Abstract
A journal bearing with pivoted shoes for supporting a shaft for rotation about a limitedly tiltable axis includes a frame with annular recesses for receiving guide pins extending from the shoes substantially parallel to the rotation axis. Inwardly projecting crossbars of the frame are disposed between respective pairs of shoes for spacing the same, while a pair of split sealing rings floatingly mounted in the recesses are clamped by springs to the shoes for limiting the lateral displacement thereof and to the shaft for forming a lubricant-tight fit even upon radial motion of the shaft at the bearing.
