FOIL BEARING
Abstract:
A foil bearing includes a thin plate member disposed between bump foils and a bearing housing. The bearing housing has a regulation groove into which a part of a top foil and a part of the thin plate member are inserted and which regulates movement of the top foil and the thin plate member in a circumferential direction of a rotary shaft. A regulator is disposed on the regulation groove and regulates the movement of the top foil and the thin plate member in an axial direction of the rotary shaft. The thin plate member has an opening that is opened on an inner peripheral surface of the thin plate member. A part of the bump foils is inserted into and engaged with the opening so that movement of the bump foils is regulated in the circumferential direction and the axial direction relative to the bearing housing.
