RADIAL PLAIN BEARING

摘要

A radial plain bearing having a plurality of tilting pads for supporting a shaft, the tilting pads being movable relative to the bearing housing and being arranged circumferentially around and at a distance from the bearing axis, whereby the tilting pads have an outer radial plain bearing surface that can be supported on a supporting surface of a pressure block provided in the bearing housing; wherein the pressure block is movably provided in a passage extending radially through the bearing housing and can move radially without being supported on the bearing housing, the pressure block is secured against rotation in the circumferential direction of the passage by way of an anti-rotation element, and at least part or all of a radial outer surface of the pressure block is located on a common cylinder surface with an outer diameter of the bearing housing or with a bushing surrounding the bearing housing.

1. A radial plain bearing, including a bearing housing having a bearing bore aligned along a bearing axis and having a plurality of tilting pads for supporting a shaft, the tilting pads being movable relative to the bearing housing and being arranged circumferentially around and at a distance from the bearing axis, whereby the tilting pads have an outer radial plain bearing surface that can be supported on a supporting surface of a pressure block provided in the bearing housing;
wherein the pressure block is movably provided in a passage extending radially through the bearing housing and can move radially without being supported on the bearing housing, the pressure block is secured against rotation in the circumferential direction of the passage by way of an anti-rotation element, and at least part or all of a radial outer surface of the pressure block is located on a common cylinder surface with an outer diameter of the bearing housing or with a bushing surrounding the bearing housing.
