PLAIN BEARING OF VERTICAL-SHAFT WATER-WHEEL GENERATOR

摘要

FIELD: electromechanical engineering; vertical-shaft water-wheel generators. ^ SUBSTANCE: proposed plain bearing for vertical-shaft water-wheel generators has segments mounted in its housing and shaft-mounted bushing. Bottom butt-end of bushing carries rectangular-section ring assembled of two or more parts with radial slots uniformly disposed over circumference at bushing butt-end. Slots and butt-end surface of bushing form radial holes designed to force lubricant to friction zone. ^ EFFECT: improved functioning of updated plain bearing. ^ 1 cl, 2 dwg
