Abstract:
A bearing module for adjusting a rotor blade angle of attack in an underwater power plant includes a rotor-blade shaft, at least two bearings for supporting the rotor-blade shaft, the at least two bearings being axially spaced from each other on the rotor-blade shaft, a first attachment structure for producing a mechanical connection to a rotor-blade hub, a second attachment structure for producing a mechanical connection to the rotor blade, and a third attachment structure for producing a mechanical connection to a blade adjustment mechanism, wherein the bearing module is an installation unit such that it can be assembled at one location and transported to a second location where rotor blades may be attached.
Abstract:
A steering apparatus includes: a rack shaft which moves steered portions based on steering by a steering portion; a cover portion covering the rack shaft; and a bearing member arranged inside the cover portion and supporting the rack shaft so that the rack shaft is movable in an axial direction of the rack shaft, and the bearing member has a reservoir portion reserving a lubricant at a contact spot with respect to the rack shaft.
Abstract:
A gyratory cone crusher includes a first and a second crushing shell defining a crushing gap. The first crushing shell is arranged to gyrate around a vertical axis, in order to crush material entering the crushing gap, and is vertically supported by a thrust bearing including first and second bearing plates defining a spherical sliding interface. One of the bearing plates has one or more cooling and/or lubricating grooves at the sliding interface, each groove defining a channel, extending from the center of the sliding interface to the periphery thereof. In order to obtain a uniform distribution of grooves, the cooling/lubricating grooves are in the form of one or more spirals extending from the center of the sliding interface to the periphery thereof. The disclosure further relates to a bearing plate and a kit of bearing plates involving such a bearing plate.
Abstract:
A method for controlling the introduction of additional lubricant (4) into a bearing (3) lubricated with a lubricant (4), in particular a rolling bearing or plain bearing, comprising the following steps is provided:—determining lubricant state information describing the state, in particular the chemical composition, of the lubricant (4) contained in the bearing (3) and—controlling the introduction of additional lubricant (4) into the bearing (3) depending on the state, which is described by the determined lubricant state information, of the lubricant (4) contained in the bearing (3).
Abstract:
A five-axial groove cylindrical journal bearing assembly with pressure dams designed for bi-directional rotation for rotatably supporting a rotating body provided with a babbitted inner surface. The journal bearing assembly has two pressure dams that are substantially mirror images of each other along a centerline between the pressure dams and has two pressure dams each located substantially opposite the direction of two vector loads of the journal bearing assembly.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a guide roller comprising a bearing journal (13) at each of two ends. Each bearing journal is provided with a plain bearing (14), which is designed as a hollow journal, and can be connected to the coolant supply line in order to conduct a coolant through the hollow journal into the coolant channel (12) or to conduct the coolant out of the coolant channel. The plain bearing (14) is lubricated by the coolant that is conducted through the bearing journal (13) designed as a hollow journal. A roller assembly for a strand casting system is provided with a plurality of said guide rollers (1). The guide rollers are arranged at an axial distance from each other along a strand (2) produced by the strand casting system and are each rotatably supported in a respective bearing mount (3). Each bearing mount is arranged on at least one frame part (4, 5) in a preloaded manner. The bearing mounts (3) are supported on the frame parts (4, 5) so as to be self-setting by means of elastically pliable connecting means (6). Even if the strand cross-section of the produced strand changes during the operating duration or due to changed process parameters, the originally set pressing force of the guide rollers remains substantially unchanged.
Abstract:
A spherical bearing has an outer ring with a concave bearing surface and an inner ring having a convex bearing surface, which is in sliding engagement with the concave bearing surface. A lubrication groove is formed in the convex bearing surface and/or the concave bearing surface. The lubrication groove is defined by a concave central portion and by convex side portions. The concave central portion has a first radius of curvature and the convex side portions have a second radius of curvature. The second radius of curvature is at least 0.7 times the first radius of curvature.
Abstract:
A bearing member placed at an end of a photosensitive drum, and a shaft member is attached thereto. The bearing member has a cylindrical body and a retaining portion placed in the cylindrical body, retaining a torque transmission pin provided in the shaft member, and removably provided. The retaining portion is provided with swaying grooves at least two grooves extending in an axial direction of the cylindrical body, placed opposite each other, and whose bottoms have each a curved surface exhibiting a bow with respect to the axial direction; inlet grooves at one end thereof connected to the respective swaying grooves and at the other end thereof connected to outside of the retaining portion and placed at an upstream position with respect to the swaying grooves along a direction of rotation of the cylindrical body; and a pedestal interposed, at one end, between the two swaying grooves.
Abstract:
To recover the axial forces transmitted by a rotating shaft, a bearing assembly includes a plurality of distributed bearing units. Each bearing unit comprises: a stationary base; a resilient member having a stationary portion and a portion that is completely movable in a main direction of the forces to be supported; and a bearing surface that defines, together with the shaft, a water film. The bearing surface is connected to the movable portion. The minimum radius of the bearing surface is between 1 m and 3 m. The resilient member and the base define at least one water chamber. A plurality of ducts are arranged so as to connect the chambers together, thereby defining a closed circuit.
