METHOD FOR REMOVING AND/OR INSTALLING A TURBINE BEARING AND A DEVICE FOR CARRYING OUT THE METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a device (30) for carrying out the method for removing a turbine bearing (26) or a bearing segment of a preferably stationary turbo engine having a housing that may preferably be split in half while the housing is closed comprising the following steps: supporting the rotor (12) to relieve the turbine bearing (26) of the weight of the rotor (12) fastening a support plate (34) to a turbine bearing housing (10) attaching two parallel rail like supports (36) to the support plate (34) and fastening a cross beam (40) to ends (38) of supports (36) fastening a counter bearing plate (43) having at least two push/pull rods (46) to the turbine bearing housing (10) and fastening the push/pull rods (46) to the turbine bearing (10) and detaching the fastening of the turbine bearing (26) from the turbine bearing housing (10) and pulling the turbine bearing (26) located in the operating position thereof out of the turbine bearing housing (10) with the aid of the push/pull rods (46). The suggested solution can help to reduce downtimes of stationary turbo engines.
