Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A thrust bearing having a radial taper in its top (land) surface provides improved load distribution when used in high-pressure positive displacement swashplate piston pumps. The thrust bearing includes a plurality of grooves in its land surface which carry and distribute fluid on the top surface during operation of the pump. The fluid is distributed so as to form a hydrodynamic fluid buffer between the thrust bearing and an adjacent pump cam surface so , that the thickness of the fluid buffer is larger in radial regions corresponding to regions of increased load and stress.

Why it's free to use
- Filed December 14, 1999. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended December 14, 2019.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 14, 2021.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
