Abstract

The present invention relates to an air foil journal bearing including a bearing housing having a hollow, in which a rotor is arranged, and a pair of top foils with different lengths formed inside the hollow, thereby enhancing assemblability since the lengths are reduced and increasing stability at the time of high speed rotation through position adjustment of a slot to which the top foils are inserted.
