Bearing arrangement for carrying heavy unit, comprises all bearings designed as movable bearings positioned in specific pattern

摘要

The heavy unit (1) can be a machine, a bridge, or a large fluid container resting on a bearing (2) positioned on top of a suitable foundation (3). The bearing (2) is assembled of several bearing units, at least three of them supporting the load vertically, and two facilitating an appropriate horizontal motion. Two of the latter mentioned bearings are positioned in a right angle at different sides of the arrangement (2). Each of the bearings is assembled of several sliding and damping layers.
