This paper describes a unique facility for measuring the film thickness in thrust cone bearings. Full details are given of the design approach and specified characteristics, together with the resultant configuration and its attributes. Some preliminary results are included which indicate the relative capacity of flat and crowned thrust cones and the implications for operation with misaligned rotational axes.
