Abstract
A thrust foil air bearing includes a bottom plate comprising a coupling portion protruding toward a rotating portion, an intermediate plate arranged above an upper surface of the bottom plate and comprising a bump foil that is elastically deformable and a first through-hole through which the coupling portion passes, and a top plate arranged above an upper surface of the intermediate plate, facing the rotating portion, and comprising a top foil arranged above the bump foil and contactable with the rotating portion and a second through-hole, through which the coupling portion passes, formed at a position corresponding to the first through-hole. The coupling portion couples the bottom plate, the intermediate plate, and the top plate to one another by passing through the first through-hole and the second through-hole. Thus, the thrust foil air bearing may be rapidly assembled without a complicated process such as welding.
