| | thrust bearing pad | Explanation:
ωστικό έδρανο = thrust bearing
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust_bearing
(κοίτα και την τρίτη εικόνα)
Fluid-film thrust bearings were invented by Australian engineer George Michell (pronounced Mitchell) who patented his invention in 1905. Michell bearings contain a number of sector-shaped pads, arranged in a circle around the shaft, and which are free to pivot. These create wedge-shaped regions of oil inside the bearing between the pads and a rotating disk, which support the applied thrust and eliminate metal-on-metal contact.
