Horizontal Bearing Assembly (Turbo-Compressor)

Features

Turbolink horizontal bearing assembly is usually used for turbo-compressors operating at high speed. High speed compressors with flexible shafts can be very demanding of journal bearings in terms of their required dynamic properties ; 4 or 5 pad tilting pad journal bearings are commonly used. With tilting pads, directed lubrication is always used to reduce power loss, oil flow as well as pad temperature.

Characteristic

• Compact design
  -The minimum practical axial length, 30~40% less than conventional bearing
  
  
• Optimum pivot bearings
  
  
• Bearings are combined as follows
  -Tilting pad journal bearing & Tilting pad thrust bearing
  -Multi axial groove journal bearing & Tilting pad thrust bearing
  -Tilting pad journal bearing & Flat land thrust bearing
  -Tilting pad journal bearing & Taper land thrust bearing
  -Multi axial groove journal bearing & Taper land thrust bearing

Application

• Turbo-compressor
