This catalog documents the dimensions, load capacities, and typical mountings of Kingsbury self‑aligning equalized thrust bearings for both horizontal and vertical shafts. It explains the oil‑film bearing principle and details three‑ and six‑shoe designs used in power generation, marine propulsion, pumping, refining, and other heavy‑duty industrial applications. Illustrated examples show how standardized internal components are applied across a wide range of machines requiring reliable thrust support under high loads and continuous operation.
