Bearing Device And Rotating Machine

Abstract: This bearing device supports a rotary shaft that is rotatable about an axis extending in the horizontal direction, and comprises: a bearing body which supports the rotary shaft; a support ring having a seating part comprising a support ring body that covers the bearing body from the outer circumferential side and a downwardly-oriented bottom surface that is provided integrally with the support ring body; and a bearing box which is provided separately from the support ring and which has a supporting surface abutting against the bottom surface. The bearing body has: a ring part which covers the rotary shaft from the outer circumferential side; and a lower pad which is directly or indirectly supported by the inner circumferential surface of the ring part and which is slidably in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the rotary shaft. When viewed from the axial direction, the supporting surface is disposed so as to extend on an extension line of a straight line that connects at least the axis and the center of the lower pad in the circumferential direction.
