Tilting pad thrust bearings

metalhigh-speed

Turbolink Journal & Thrust combined bearings are developed for turbo-machines at high speed. High speed turbo-machines with flexible shafts demand journal bearings in terms of their required dynamic properties ; 4 or 5 pad tilting pad journal bearings are commonly used. With tilting pads, directed lubrication is always used to reduce pad metal temperature. © Characteristics • - Compact design - - The minimum practical axial length • - Optimum pivot bearings • - Bearings are combined as follows - - Tilting pad journal bearing & Tilting pad thrust bearing - - Multi axial groove journal bearing & Tilting pad thrust bearing - - Tilting pad journal bearing & Flat land thrust bearing - - Tilting pad journal bearing & Taper land thrust bearing
