Self-heating during operation causes a bearing to undergo thermal distortion. A method is presented to determine the consequent effects on the load capacity of a spiral-grooved air-lubricated thrust bearing designed for maximum load capacity. The effect of mode of heat removal is discussed. Appropriate performance curves and a worked example are given.
