4. Non-cylindrical and tilting pad bearings
In paragraph 3 , we examined the simple case of the cylindrical bearing; in practice, other types of bearing are often used, as the cylindrical bearing is only stable for large eccentricities, i.e. at high loads.
Oscillating-pad bearings are exceptionally stable, but their design is complex and the pivots are often damaged. Another type of fixed-geometry bearing with good dynamic characteristics is the lobe...
