Axial bearing assembly

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The arrangement has a bearing surface separated from a planar sliding surface by a lubricating gap. The bearing surface includes annularly arranged segments (5) with a wedge surface (5'') and an engagement surface (5'). The segments are arranged in two coaxial ring zones. The segments of the radially adjacent ring zones are arranged offset relative to each other in a circumferential direction. The wedge surface of the segments of one of the zones is arranged radially adjacent to the engagement surface of the segments in the other neighboring zone. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Hydrodynamic axial sliding bearing arrangement for a turbocharger. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The segments are arranged in the two coaxial ring zones, thus ensuring hydrodynamic axial bearing even under extreme conditions. The segments of the radially adjacent ring zones are arranged offset relative to each other in the circumferential direction, thus creating a network of hydrodynamic supporting regions, and hence effectively dampening wobbling movements of the shaft-sided sliding surface while avoiding the need for a direct contact of the sliding surface with parts of the segments. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows an axial top view of an axial bearing disk. 1 : Axial bearing disk 2 : Central opening 3 : Radially outer annular surface 4 : Segment zone 5 : Segments 5' : Engagement surface 5'' : Wedge surface.
