Bearing arrangement for a tilting trunnion of a metallurgical vessel

摘要

A bearing arrangement for a tilting trunnion of a metallurgical vessel, in particular a converter in a steel making plant, has an inner race, an outer race, bearing bodies arranged therebetween, and at least one sensor device with a sensor pin. The sensor device penetrates the outer race and contacts the inner race forming a sensing point. Also, the sensor device has a fixed point with the sensor pin being movable relative to the fixed point and the distance between the sensing point and the fixed point being measurable.
