Abstract
A gas bearing for textile machine applications includes a rotor having a bearing surface shaped to define a truncated conical bearing surface and a foil shell having a corresponding truncated conical shape. This gas bearing supports both radial and axial loads, and two such bearings may be combined to support axial loads in two directions as well as radial loads.
