N2  - Mobility analysis of the hydrodynamic tilting - pad thrust bearing with an equalizing mechanism is presented to show the condition necessary for exact constrainedness as well as the number and nature of the expected and the unexpected degrees of freedom. The position kinematics of the bearing mechanism is analyzed to assess the heave characheristics of the thrust collar when misaligned
