A buoy includes a turret coupled to a buoyant body using a bearing assembly; a deckhouse disposed on the buoyant body; and a bearing retainer configured to retain the bearing assembly and to releasably attach to the turret. The buoy may also include a locking mechanism having an inner opening in the turret, an outer opening in the buoyant body, and a locking member configured for insertion through the inner and outer openings. In one embodiment, the inner opening is out of alignment with the outer opening during operation of the buoy. The buoy may further include a detachable cover on the deckhouse, wherein the cover is configured to attach to the bearing retainer.

A method of assembling a bearing assembly includes fitting a first ring onto a first end of a gear shaft. A second ring is fed into a slot in the first ring. The second ring is driven through the slot in the first ring. The second ring is positioned within the first ring. The second ring is positioned about the gear shaft such that a first end and a second end of the second ring are covered by a solid portion of the first ring.

Installation of a bushing into the shift cable end of an automatic transmission, without replacing the entire shift cable end, is accomplished via methods and specialized tools that do not require the use of compression tools, or divert the force applied by compressive tools away from the non-load-bearing surfaces of the bushing and shift cable end, and maintain the axial alignment of the bushing with the shift cable end during installation, thus preventing deformation of the shift cable end and bushing during installation, and ensuring the proper coupling of the shift cable end and shift lever. In particular embodiments, a shift cable end protective member is secured to the shift cable end, a bushing installation member is inserted into the bushing, through the shift cable end and into the protective member, and a compressive force is applied simultaneously to the protective member and installation member, thus pressing the bushing into place within the shift cable end. The protective member and installation member work in tandem to divert the compressive force away from the shift cable end, average the compressive force across the bushing, and maintain the alignment of the bushing with the shift cable end as the bushing is pressed into the shift cable end. In other embodiments, the bushing may be installed by hand without the use of a compression tool by utilizing an installation member carrying a compression cavity that allows for the compression of the bushing by hand. The installation member is passed through the shift cable end and removed, allowing the bushing to expand into place within the shift cable end.

A gas turbine shaft bearing system (bearing and/or seal component) service method and service tool that applies biasing force between a gas turbine shaft and a bearing system component supporting the shaft, so that the bearing system component can be removed or installed. The bearing system service tool is coupled directly to the bearing system component and the shaft, preferably without the need for external fixtures. A biasing force generator, such as a hydraulic unit applies a force on the bearing system component to cause component movement on or off the shaft. Counter-biasing forces are resisted by the fixed position turbine shaft. By exerting biasing force directly between the turbine shaft and bearing system component the service tool can be constructed of smaller, man portable components that are more easily maneuvered within relatively confined turbine service spaces, which are common in field installations.

A sealing and bearing unit for at least two shafts orientated in parallel with one another is disclosed. The sealing and bearing unit includes a housing preferably constituted in one piece with at least two openings for the at least two shafts orientated in parallel with one another. There are assigned to each opening at least one bearing for the rotational holding of the respective shaft in the housing and at least one seal interposed between the housing and the respective shaft. Furthermore, there is assigned in each case to the respective at least one bearing and to the respective at least one seal at least one individual fixing for their independent connection to the housing.

A method of removing a part from a shaft is provided. The part is attached to the shaft with an interference fit. The method includes the steps of, inserting an expandable plug into the shaft, and adding coolant to an interior of the shaft. The coolant cools the shaft from the interior of the shaft to an exterior of the shaft. Another step removes the part from the shaft. The part is removed from the shaft without sustaining damage to either the part or the shaft, so that the part and the shaft may be refurbished or reused.

A mechanism and method for locking a bearing to a shaft includes a split sleeve and a receptive flange adapted to be fixed to the bearing. A positioning flange is coupled to the split sleeve. A screw extends through the positioning flange and threadingly engages the receptive flange. Rotation of the screw in a first direction axially drives the sleeve into engagement with the bearing to collapse the split sleeve into engagement with the shaft.
