STEP BEARING Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: step bearing has disk secured on support of framework of rotor which rests on segments coated with antifriction layer over surface which is in contact with disk; segments rest on spherical head of bearing bolt whose swivel head passes through bottom of oil bath. To enhance adjustment, bolt is sealed with gland device with nut. Support of bolt has cantilever projections resting on bearing members with cylindrical surface and turning around axle coated with antifriction layer; they are locked by means of bearing cheeks. Flexible members dampen vibrations produced by rotor on cross-piece and reduce its mass. EFFECT: enhanced reliability. 2 cl, 2 dwg
