Abstract

This invention relates to a hydrostatic bearing unit for rotating parts, and more especially to a radial bearing unit for heavy machine parts, such as drums, comprising a fixed base and a shoe which is mounted for limited gyration relative to the base and for hydraulic adjustment with respect to the rotating parts and which comprises a bearing surface fed with hydraulic carrier medium. The invention also relates to a hydrostatic bearing assembly comprising several such bearing units.
