These bearings hold the rotor in the radial direction by the journal bearings and axial direction by the thrust bearings.
Often the compressr's bearing one is located in the center of compressor inlet casing and held in place by bolts.
The compressor's bearing contains:
01)) : A journal bearing, loaded thrust bearing and unloaded thrust bearing.

History of Modern Gas and Steam Turbine Bearing Development
In the early s, gas turbine bearing and steam turbine applications began pushing the safe operating limits of flooded tilting pad hydrodynamic bearings. Shaft speeds and loads had increased to the point that bearing surface temperatures and associated power losses were of concern in the design of larger, faster, more efficient turbines.
In response to the demands of our market, Kingsbury developed the Leading Edge Groove (LEG®) lubrication technology for both thrust and journal bearing applications. This design provides superior bearing performance while simultaneously reducing oil flow requirements, which translates into higher turbine efficiency.
The Advantages of LEG® Technology vs Flooded Bearings
The applications and data demonstrate that LEG® technology is a cost effective and reliable method of lubrication that improves efficiency, lowers capital costs, and adds value to machinery.
Enter the BPG® Journal bearing for even greater machine efficiency
More recently, a new addition has joined the directed-lubrication family of Kingsbury journal bearings, the Between Pad Grooves (BPG®), improving machine performance even more:
