    Optimum design problem for hydrodynamic self-aligning acting thrust bearings was considered. Based on results for rectangular region the problem for sector region was solved. As an objective function, the maximum of pressure integral over the lubricant layer surface was used and five geometrical parameters described Rayleigh's pocket shape were used as optimization variables during optimization procedure. The bearing pressure distribution was determined on the basis of the Navier-Stokes equations using the ANSYS / CFX software. Numerically the optimization problem was solved using three different methods: IOSO, SIMPLEX and pilOPT+AFilter SQP realized in two commercial optimization software IOSO and modeFRONTIER. The aim of this investigation was designing the technologically advanced profiles of thrust bearing sector microgeometry ensuring the maximum load capacity
