<p>A split bearing arrangement (7) for reciprocating engines comprising a bedplate section (3) and a block section (4) made of materials differing in hardness. The bedplate section, where at least a bedplate section clamping surface (5a,5b) is made of an iron material, is adapted to be clampable against the block section. The bedplate section has at least one positioning protrusion (8) located on the bedplate section clamping surface. The block section (4), made of a material having a hardness which is less than the hardness of the iron material of the bedplate section clamping surface (5a,5b), is adapted to be clampable and forcibly pressed against the bedplate section, when the bedplate section (3) is first pressed into the block section (4) at least one positioning groove (9) located in a block section clamping surface (6a,6b) is formed. The at least one positioning protrusion (8) has two longitudinal concave surfaces, two transverse concave surfaces and a substantially flat upper surface. The block section (4) has at least one material groove (10) located in its block section clamping surface (6a,6b), the material groove (10) is connected to the positioning groove (9), the at least one material groove (10) is adapted to receive material displaced from the block section (4) when the at least one positioning protrusion (8) of the bedplate section (3) is forcibly pressed into the block section (4). The at least one positioning groove (9) is adapted to receive the at least one positioning protrusion (8) after the at least first pressing.</p> |
