MOTOR-SUPPORTING AXLE-MOUNTED SLIDING BEARING FOR TRACTION MOTOR OF LOCOMOTIVE Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: railway transport. SUBSTANCE: mounted on inner surface of bearing shell are capillary porous bodies for feedforward and feedback between grease contained in reservoir and excessive liquid lubricant in friction area, as well as heat-removing porous members with flexible capillary porous bodies pressed in passages of capillary porous bodies, thus providing for additional feedforward and feedback between grease contained in reservoir and friction area on one side and between capillary-porous, flexible capillary-porous bodies and excessive liquid lubricant and friction area at removal of thermal energy of heat-removing members on other side. EFFECT: enhanced operational reliability and durability of bearing unit of traction motor of locomotive. 2 dwg
