Background: This study was conducted to explore the temperature rise and distribution of the micro-gap lubricating oil film of the hydrostatic and hydrodynamic thrust bearing, solve the problem of thermal deformation of the friction pair of the hydrostatic and hydrodynamic support, and improve the operation accuracy and stability of the hydrostatic and hydrodynamic thrust bearing. Objective: Combined with the theory of dynamic and static pressure bearings, the problem of lubricating oil film temperature rise is analyzed, and specific research directions are proposed. It is hoped that it will be helpful to improve the research of bearing stability and provide a theoretical basis for the structural design and operational reliability of heavy hydrostatic bearings. Methods: This article summarizes the research status of the oil film temperature rise of hydrostatic and hydrodynamic thrust bearings, especially focusing on the influence of hot oil carrying on the temperature rise of the lubricating oil film, and finally, the specific research directions and methods of the oil film temperature rise are prospected. Methods: Current and future developments of the oil film temperature rise of hydrostatic and hydrodynamic thrust bearings are finally provided and discussed. It provides theoretical support for the thermal deformation control of the bearing friction pair, and provides a basis for the highprecision and stable operation of the bearing. Conclusion: Aiming at the research hotspots of lubricating oil film temperature rise and distribution, based on the analysis of the principle of hydrostatic and dynamic pressure bearings, the domestic and foreign literature on the influence of the micro-gap lubricating oil film temperature rise and distribution of hydrostatic and hydrodynamic thrust bearings is collected and analyzed. The research shows that although some research results have been made in this area, current research methods and angle analysis still have certain limitations, so the study of the oil film temperature rise is not comprehensive, and further detailed discussion and analysis are still needed.
