Abstract
An axial thrust balancing system including a sleeve for balancing an axial thrust applied to a rotary shaft and a bush defining therebetween a clearance having arranged therein at least one pressure chamber for dividing the clearance into a plurality of smaller clearances. The axial division of the clearance reduced the ratio of the axial length of the clearance to the diameter of the sleeve and stabilizes the bearing characteristics of a film of fluid in the clearance, thereby inhibiting the generation of a self-excited vibration of the shaft up to a high rotation velocity.
