Abstract
A vertical radial guide bearing of fixed circular bore construction surrounds a journal attached firmly to a rotating shaft, is lubricated via pot lubrication means, has a bearing bore surface that is shaped to include viscosity oil pumps that are situated below the surface of the oil in the pot, are adjacent the bottom of the bearing, have associated supply ports remote from the journal, and have associated discharge grooves that extend vertically up the bearing bore surface to a circumferential groove adjacent the top of the bearing, wherein the viscosity oil pumps are sized to pump oil quickly up the grooves so as to develop an oil film between the journal and bearing surfaces, this film generated by normal hydro-dynamic action having sufficient pressure and thickness to rapidly separate the journal and bearing surfaces and to keep them separated.
