VERTICAL ROTOR SUPPORT Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC F16C17/08 F16C27/08 F16F15/23 

FIELD: mechanics.

SUBSTANCE: support surface of rotor trunnion is made in the form of toroidal surface and installed on spherical support surface in cavity of support toe. The latter is installed on a damping element arranged in cavity of housing with lubricating liquid. Radius of toroidal surface of trunnion is 0.4÷0.95 of the radius value of spherical support surface of the toe, and distance between axial line of toroidal surface and trunnion axis is 0.05÷0.6 of the radius value of spherical support surface of the toe. Geometrical parametres of the support meet the ratio: , but not less than 1, where: r - radius of the toe sphere, m; ρ - radius of torodial surface, m; δ- distance between axial line of torodial surface and trunnion axis, m; P - axial load, H; F - radial load, H; β - slope angle of figure end from rotation axis under influence of radial load, rad.

EFFECT: increasing carrying capacity of support and decreasing costs for manufacturing and repairing thereof.
