Abstract

This invention relates to a hydrostatic bearing for rotating parts, more particularly a radial bearing for heavy machine parts, such as drums, comprising a fixed bearing pedestal and a bearing shoe which is mounted for limited wobbling movement about the bearing axis relative to the bearing pedestal and for hydraulic adjustment relative to the rotating machine part and which comprises a bearing surface fed with hydraulic carrier medium, the bearing shoe being connected to the bearing pedestal through a hydraulically operable supporting membrane.
