Rotary furnace axial thrust mechanism - has thrust roller bearing coupled to foundation by spring guide

摘要

The mechanism thrusts a drum turning by means of bearing rings on supporting rollers in its lengthwise direction, being particularly for a rotary furnace. Thrust rollers acting against the rings work in bearings movable in relation to the foundation. The bearing (2) of the thrust roller (1) is coupled to the foundation (13) by one or more spring guide members (7), ensuring that the thrust exerted by the roller is parallel to the axis of rotation of the drum (10).
