Abstract:
The invention relates to a bearing device (100) for the contactless bearing of a rotor in relation to a stator (101). Said bearing device (100) comprises a rotor provided with a shaft (102) and at least one rotor disk (103), and a stator (101) provided with at least two stator disks (105, 106). Said stator (101) at least partially surrounds the rotor at a certain distance and the rotor disks (103) protrude into the intermediate chamber (104) between the rotor disks thus forming a bearing gap (107). Said bearing device (100) also comprises a magnetic bearing part for bearing the rotor in a radial manner and an air bearing part for bearing the rotor in an axial manner.
Abstract:
A multi-pad, fluid film thrust bearing has the pads suspended from the carrier ring on hydrostatic oil pressure regions. The oil is pressurized hydrodynamically by relative rotation between a load surface and the bearing surface of each pad; and the oil is passed through each pad to a rear cavity where the hydrostatic pressure region is established. A manifold interconnects all of the hydrostatic pressure regions for the individual pads in order to average the hydrostatic pressures and provide for static and dynamic load equalization.
Abstract:
A pump has a thrust bearing has a casing with an inlet port and a discharge port. A shaft is positioned within the pump. A thrust bearing is coupled to the shaft. A pressure alterable bearing cavity is located within the casing. The pressure alterable cavity allows the axial thrust on the shaft from the impellers to be counteracted. The thrust bearing has an annular seal coupled with respect to the casing disc is coupled to the shaft and positioned adjacent the seal and the disc have a gap therebetween. A feedback pipe couples the bearing cavity to the inlet port. As the axial thrust acting on the shaft changes, the gap between the seal and the disc also changes. The changing of the gap changes the pressure within the bearing cavity. The disc and thus the shaft are repositioned in response to the change in the bearing cavity pressure change.

Abstract:
A thrust bearing assembly comprising a bearing runner and a bearing carrier, the carrier defining a plurality of thrust pad sites annularly around the carrier, with a thrust pad disposed at a site and with the carrier limiting movement of the thrust pad in a direction generally radial to the longitudinal axis of the runner while allowing the thrust pad to move in a direction generally parallel to the longitudinal axis. Though the range of movement is limited, the pads can tilt under load to form a hydrodynamic wedge as is known in the art. An embodiment comprises a bearing runner having a wear resistant face and a bearing carrier defining thrust pad sites disposed annularly around the carrier. In one implementation, at each site, a deflection element (e.g., Belleville washer) is disposed in a cavity and a pad is disposed over the deflection element. The pad can be at least partially disposed within the cavity. The wear resistant face contacts the pad. Another embodiment rigidly connects pads disposed on opposite sides of a stationary bearing carrier. Another embodiment attaches pads to a bearing carrier using pad holder assemblies.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a hydrostatic bearing device, comprising two bearing elements, each of which has at least one sliding surface and which face each other with their sliding surfaces. At least one of the bearing elements (1) has at least one fluid holder which is connected to a pressure line (8) by at least one supply opening (4), for supplying lubricating fluid (5), and which is open in the direction of the opposite bearing element (6). According to the invention, the at least one fluid holder is in the form of a channel (3, 10, 11) which acts as a throttle for the lubricating fluid (3), at least in places. This increases the resistance of the bearing element (1) to tipping. Additionally, chokes are not required when multiple bearing elements, supplied by a common lubricant pump are used.
Abstract:
A turbocharger (40) for use in an engine includes a turbine (42), a compressor (44), and a mechanical assembly (46). The mechanical assembly (46) includes a shaft (62) connecting a turbine wheel (50) to a compressor wheel (54), and an annular housing (60) positioned about the shaft (62). A first journal bearing (70) is connected to the annular housing (60), at the turbine end (56). A second journal bearing (80) is connected to the annular housing (60), at the compressor end (58). A thrust bearing assembly (90), positioned about the shaft (62) and located axially between the first and second journal bearings (70, 80), is configured to absorb axial forces acting on the mechanical assembly (46) directed from the turbine wheel (50) toward the compressor wheel (54) generated by rotation of the turbine wheel (50) and compressor wheel (54) during operation of the turbocharger (40).
Abstract:
A high capacity thrust bearing is disclosed for use in a tubular drilling string to support axial loads resulting from upward or downward jarring forces. The thrust bearing comprises an inner mandrel and an outer housing. A mandrel pressure chamber string and a housing pressure chamber string are journalled between the mandrel and the housing. The mandrel pressure chamber string and the housing chamber string are arranged to form a number of individual pressure chambers. Alternating pressure chambers contain high pressure fluid or low pressure fluid, thereby forming a repeating pressure differential between adjacent chambers. As loads are applied axially to the drill string, such as jarring loads, the pressure differential over the surface area of the pressure chambers provides a thrust bearing. The thrust bearing is rotatable by its connection to the drill string.
