Abstract
A journal bearing, and a method of using the same, that prohibits relative movement between an aligning ring and the bearing shoes in the axial direction through the use of surface contact instead of retaining plates. In one aspect, the surface contact can be achieved by flanges extending from the bearing shoes. In another aspect, the surface contact can be achieved through the use of dowel pins. In still another embodiment, the surface contact can be achieved by flanges extending from oil feed bars.
